Question

The Great Pyramid at Giza, Egypt, is 147 meters tall,

and each side of the base is 240 meters long. What
is its volume?

Answer 1

The formula for the volume of a pyramid is V = (1/3)·(Area of the Base)·(Height)

Since the base of the pyramid is a square, 240 meters on each side, the area of the base is:

A = 240 m x 240 m = 57,600 square meters

The volume of the pyramid is: V = (1/3)·(57,600 m2)·(147 m) = 2,822,400 m³.

Explanation:

Answer 2

V = (1/3) x (57,600 m^2) x (147 m) = 2,822,400 m^3
