One of the ancient stone pyramids in Egypt has a square base that measures 142m on each side. The height is 105m and the volume of the pyramids?
To find the volume of a pyramid, we can use the formula:
Volume = (1/3) * base area * height
Since the base of the pyramid is a square with each side measuring 142m, the base area can be calculated as:
Base area = side length squared = 142m * 142m = 20164m²
Substituting the values into the formula, we get:
Volume = (1/3) * 20164m² * 105m
Calculating further:
Volume ≈ 1/3 * 20164m² * 105m
≈ 676133440m³
Therefore, the volume of the pyramid is approximately 676,133,440 cubic meters.
