The Great Pyramid of Giza is an example of a square pyramid and is the last surviving structure considered a wonder of the ancient world. The builders of the pyramid used a measure called a cubit, which represents the length of the forearm from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger. One cubit is about 20 inches in length. The height of the great pyramid is?

The height of the great pyramid is:

Or:

Step-by-step explanation:

The Great Pyramid of Giza could be said to have two heights: one at the time of being built and the other that can be currently measured, however, to answer the question, the current height has been used, which is 303.6 cubits (I give the answer in this unit because it was the one used by its builders).

There is a slight discrepancy with the values given in the exercise: one cubit equals 18 inches, not 20.

fabric (square meters)                   cloaks

7                                                           21

4/3                                                         4

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that harry needs 2 square meters of fabric for every 6 wizard cloaks he makes.

1. first of all we will find how many cloaks can be made from 1 square meter of fabric by dividing 6 by 2.

we can see that 3 cloaks can be made from 1 square meter of fabric. now we will multiply 3 by 7 to find number of cloaks made from 7 square meters of fabric.

therefore, harry will make 21 cloaks from 7 square meters of fabric.

2. let us find how many square meters of fabric will be needed to make 4 cloaks.

first of all we will find fabric needed for 1 cloak by dividing 2 by 6.

we can see that fabric needed for 1 cloak is   square meter. now we will multiply   by 4 to find fabric needed for 4 cloaks.
