Answer:

$V=8,236,005\ ft^3$

Explanation:

The correct question is

The great Pyramid of Menkaure has a height of about 215 feet and a base side length of about 339 feet. What is its volume?

we know that

The volume of a square pyramid id equal to

V=(1)/(3)b^2h

where

b is the length side of the square base

h is the height of pyramid

we have

$b=339\ ft\\h=215\ ft$

substitute

V=(1)/(3)(339)^2(215)

$V=8,236,005\ ft^3$
