Question

The Great Pyramid of Giza is an example of a square pyramid and is the last surviving structure considered a wonder of the ancient world. The builders of the pyramid used a measure called a cubit, which represents the length of the forearm from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger. One cubit is about 20 inches in length.

One side of the base is measured to be 453 cubits and the lateral surface area is 260,928 squared cubits.

What is the height (in cubits) of the pyramid?

What is the total surface area (in squares cubits) of the pyramid?

Answer 1

93.3

Explanation:

Answer 2

To find the height of the pyramid, you will use the formula V =lwh.

The length and the width will be the same.

18069330 = 440 x 440 x h

18069330 = 193600 x h

h = 93.3 cubits.

The height is about 93.3 cubits.
