The great pyramid outside cairo, Egypt has a square base measuring 756 feet on a side and a height of 480 feet. what is the volume of the great pyramid in cubic yards?

First thing that needs to be done is to calculate for the area of the base which is in form of a square. The area is square is calculated through the equation,

A = s²

where A is area and s is the length of the sides.

Substituting the known values,

A = (756 ft) ²

A = 571,536 ft²

The prism in which this pyramid can be enclosed has a volume that can be calculated through the equation.

Volume = area of base x height

Substituting,

Volume = (571,536 ft²) (480 ft)

Volume = 274337280 ft³

The volume of the pyramid is equal to one-third (1/3) of the volume of the prism. Thus,

Volume of pyramid = (274337280 ft³) / 3

Volume of pyramid = 91445760 ft³

Thus, the volume of the pyramid is equal to 91,445,760 ft³.
