@igreen 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.

anonymous · Answer

the formula is l^2 x h/3

anonymous · Answer

Where l is the length, and h is the height.

anonymous · Answer

So after you plug it in, It's 705^2 x 471/3.

anonymous · Answer

so is it 705 divide by 2 times 471 divide by 3

anonymous · Answer

Wait, that formula is wrong...

anonymous · Answer

0.o

anonymous · Answer

It's V = $\dfrac{1}{3}$ x b^2 x h, where b is the base length, and h is the height. Can you plug it in?

anonymous · Answer

@AnswerMyQuestions  what do (^) means

igreen · Answer

The formula is $V = \dfrac{1}{3} b^2 h$

anonymous · Answer

To the power of.

anonymous · Answer

So that would be the base length to the power of 2.

igreen · Answer

Base is 705. Height is 471.

Plug them in:

$V = \dfrac{1}{3} (705^2)(471)$

Simplify the exponent:

$V = \dfrac{1}{3} (497025)(471)$

Multiply all three of those numbers, what do you get?
