Question

I need help with this question!

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 seven hundred five feet, and its height is four hundred seventy-one feet. Massive dimensions indeed! Calculate the volume of the Khafre pyramid. Show the steps of your solution and explain your work.

Answer 1

Medal + Fan for best answer!!!!

Answer 2

@xXxUNOQUEPASAxXx That is an answer from Yahoo, I have googled this question to see if someone has previously asked this question. You should not answer someones question with another persons answer.

Answer 3

@ParthKohli Please help

Answer 4

the volume of a 'cone' is 1/3 the volume of its representative 'cylindar'

a pyramid is just a cone from a box ...

Answer 5

I need to know how calculate the volume of the pyramid

Answer 6

This was my answer but I'm not sure if it is right:

Volume of a pyramid or a cone is equal to:

(1/3) * Area of the base of the pyramid * Height of the pyramid.

The base of this pyramid is a square, so the area is:
side length * side length = 705ft * 705ft.

Answer 7

so far so good

Answer 8

Is it right though?

Answer 9

its not finished, but its one the right track

Answer 10

So what else do I need to do?

Answer 11

I do not need to know the answer I need to know how to get the correct answer

Answer 12

you posted:

(1/3) * Area of the base of the pyramid * Height of the pyramid
|--------------------------|
and computed this part

Answer 13

finish the computations ....

Answer 14

(1/3) * Area of the base of the pyramid * Height of the pyramid

(1/3) * 705 * 705 * Height of the pyramid
|-----------------|
and this is given

Answer 15

(1/3) * 705 * 705 * 471?

Answer 16

of course :) keep in mind that ft*ft*ft = ft^3 as a dimension

Answer 17

Ok, and one more question. How would I plug all of this into my previous answer:

Volume of a pyramid or a cone is equal to: (1/3) * Area of the base of the pyramid * Height of the pyramid. The base of this pyramid is a square, so the area is: side length * side length = 705ft * 705ft.

Answer 18

... the height of the pyr is given as _____, the calculation is therefore ______.

Answer 19

you described the equation to use, and defined the parts needed to fill it in; then submit the calculation as the result

Answer 20

Thank you so much!!! @amistre64 (P.S. Thanks for not just giving me the answer)
