The height of the Egyptian pyramid is 146.6 meters and a base length is 230.6 meters. Find the volume of that pyramid.

The height of the Egyptian pyramid is 146.6 meters and a base length is 230.6 meters. Find the volume of that pyramid.

Explanation

To find the volume of the pyramid, we use the formula for the volume of a pyramid:


V = frac{1}{3} times text{Base Area} times text{Height}

Given:

  • The height h=146.6h = 146.6 meters
  • The base length a=230.6a = 230.6 meters (since the pyramid has a square base, both base lengths are equal)

The area of the square base is:

Now, we can calculate the volume:


V = frac{1}{3} times 53,177.16 times 146.6 = 2,598,469.41 , text{m}^3

Thus, the volume of the pyramid is approximately 2,598,469.41 cubic meters.
