The original dimensions of the great pyramid of giza in egypt were 146 meters tall and 229 meters on each side of the square base. what was the original volume of this pyramid? a. 2,337,655 cubic meters b. 1,627,121 cubic meters c. 2,552,129 cubic meters d. 2,429,586 cubic meters

Answer

C. 2,552,129 cubic meters

Explanation

The volume of a pyramid = (1/3)Ah

Where A ⇒ area of the base

            h ⇒ vertical height of the pyramid.

∴ Volume = (1/3) Ah

                 = 1/3 (229 × 229) × 146

                 = 1/3 × 52,441 × 146

                  = 1/3 × 7,656,386

                = 2,552,128.667 m³

In whole number = 2,552,129 m³

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2
