The square base of the Great Pyramid of Khufu has a length of approximately 1.476 * 10^3 feet. Its height is about 2.17*10^2 feet. Find the approximate volume of the pyramid. Write your answer in scientific notation. Round the coefficient to the nearest tenth.

the volume of anything pointy at the to with straight sides is area of bottom * height / 3

1.476^2 * 10^6 * 2.17 +10^2 / 3

about 1.0 *10^8 but use calculator

To find the volume of the pyramid, we can use the formula:

Volume = (Area of base * Height) / 3.

First, let's calculate the area of the square base:

Area of base = (Length of base)^2

Area of base = (1.476 * 10^3)^2

Area of base = (1.476^2) * (10^3)^2

Now, let's calculate the volume:

Volume = (Area of base * Height) / 3

Volume = [(1.476^2) * (10^3)^2 * (2.17 * 10^2)] / 3

Volume = (1.476^2 * 2.17 * 10^3 * 10^2) / 3

Volume = (approx. 3.509 * 10^2) * (2.17 * 10^2) / 3

Volume = approx. (3.509 * 2.17) * (10^2 * 10^2) / 3

Volume = approx. 7.609 * 10^2 * 10^2 / 3

Volume = approx. 7.609 * 10^4 / 3

Now, divide the coefficient by 3:

Volume = approx. 2.536 * 10^4

Therefore, the approximate volume of the pyramid is 2.5 * 10^4 cubic feet (rounded to the nearest tenth).
