One of the ancient stone pyramids in Egypt has a square base that measures 142 m on each side. The height is 105 m. What is the volume of the pyramid?
The volume of a pyramid is given by the formula V = (1/3) * base area * height.
The base area of a square is calculated by squaring one of its sides. In this case, the base area would be 142 m * 142 m = 20164 m^2.
Substituting the values into the formula, we get V = (1/3) * 20164 m^2 * 105 m.
Multiplying these values, we find that the volume of the pyramid is 705894240 m^3.
