2. the great pyramid outside cairo, egypt, has a square base measuring 756 feet
on a side and a height of 480 feet.
a. [3 pts] what is the volume of the great pyramid, in cubic yards?
b. [2 pts] the stones used to build the great pyramid were limestone blocks
with an average volume of 1.5 cubic yards. assuming a solid
pyramid, how many of these blocks were needed to construct the
great pyramid?

First convert the dimensions of the pyramid from feet to yards.

1 yard = 3 feet.

756 feet / 3 ft per yard = 252 yards.

480 feet / 3 ft per yard = 160 yards.

The formula for volume of a pyramid is:  Area of the base x the height divided by 3.

Volume = 252 yds^2 x 160/3 = 63504 x 160/3 = 3,386,880 cubic yards.

Now to find the number of bricks needed. divide the total volume by the volume of 1 brick:

3,386,880 / 1.5 = 2,257,920 total bricks.

step-by-step explanation:

given expression is .

now we need to simplify the given expression .

we know that square root is equivalent to the power 1/2. so that means we can take half of the exponents to get the square root of given expression.

expanding that will give a very very large number so let's keep answer in exponent form.
