Question

Determine the amount of stone needed to build one of the pyramids with a height of 145m and a square base with a side length of 230m? find the volume.

Answer 1

The volume is
`2556657m^(2)`

Explanation:

This problem brothers on the mensuration of solid shapes, a square based pyramid.

Given data

Volume v = ?

length of base a= 230m

Height h= 145m

Since we are required to solve for the volume of a square based pyramid, the expression for he volume is

`v= a^(2) *(h)/(3)`

Substituting our data into the formula we have

`volume= 230^(2)*(145)/(3)`

`volume= 52900*48.33\\volume= 2556657m^(2)`

Hence the volume of the stones needed is is
`2556657m^(2)`
