one of the ancient store pyramids in egypt has a square base that measures 145m on each side. the height is 108m. What is the volume of the pyramid?
Volume = (1/3)*(base area)*(height)
The base area is 145^2 = 21,025 m^2
Complete the calculation
i have the answer nevermind

Please don't post the same question after you've already received an answer. Don't waste our time and yours.
To find the volume of a pyramid, you can use the formula:
Volume = (1/3) * Base Area * Height
In this case, since the base is square, you can calculate the base area by squaring the length of one side. Therefore:
Base Area = Side Length * Side Length
Base Area = 145m * 145m
Now, you can substitute the given values into the formula to find the volume:
Volume = (1/3) * 145m * 145m * 108m
Calculate the expression inside the parenthesis:
Volume = (1/3) * 145 * 145 * 108
Multiply the values:
Volume = (1/3) * 2857680
Now, divide the result by 3 to get the final volume:
Volume = 952560 cubic meters
So, the volume of the pyramid is 952560 cubic meters.
