The pyramids at Giza include several square-based pyramids that were built in honor of the Egyptian gods. One of these incredible monuments is the Khafre pyramid, built as part of a temple complex, with the famous Sphinx at its base. The base length of this pyramid is 705 feet, and its height is 471 feet. Massive dimensions indeed! Calculate the volume of the Khafre pyramid. Show the steps of your solution and explain your work.

Answer 1

I can you out

Answer 2

?

Answer 3

help you out I mean

Answer 4

:P

Answer 5

Ohk thanks , what do I do to solve this ?

Answer 6

well first find the base area

Answer 7

and how do I do that ?

Answer 8

705 *705

Answer 9

then multiply that by the height

Answer 10

and then by .33333333333

Answer 11

ok so once i multip 705x705 , i multiply it by the height ? and then my answer to that by .33333333333 ?

Answer 12

yup

Answer 13

K thanks .

Answer 14

np

Answer 15

I did that and my finnal answer I got was ; 78032925 ?

Answer 16

let me try

Answer 17

The volume of any pyramid shape = (1/3) * (area of base) * (height)

The Pyramids of Giza are square-based pyramids - know that I hope.

You have the base length - I think that's the edge of the square base, and the height provided.

Can you use the formula above?

Answer 18

yup thats the right answer

Answer 19

So @apoorvk ; was my answer correct ?
