Q. The formula for the volume of a pyramid is 3A⋅h where A is the area of the pyramid's base and h is its height.The base of the Great Pyramid of Giza is about 53,000 square meters, and its height is about 150 meters.What calculation will give us the estimated volume of the Great Pyramid of Giza in cubic meters?Choose 1 answer:(A) 3100253,000⋅150(B) 353,000⋅150⋅100(C) 353,000⋅150⋅1002(D) 353,000⋅150
Identify Formula: Identify the correct formula to use for calculating the volume of a pyramid.The formula for the volume of a pyramid is (A⋅h)/3, where A is the area of the base and h is the height.
Plug Values: Plug the given values for the base area A and height h into the formula.A=53,000 square meters (base area)h=150 meters (height)Volume=3A×h=353,000×150
Perform Operations: Perform the multiplication before the division as per the order of operations.Multiplication: 53,000×150=7,950,000
Divide Result: Divide the result of the multiplication by 3 to find the volume.Division: 7,950,000/3=2,650,000
Check Answer Choices: Check the answer choices to see which one matches our calculation.The correct answer choice is (D) (53,000×150)/3, which matches our calculation.
