50 POINTS! The formula for finding the volume of a square pyramid is V= 1/3 HS In the formula, V stands for volume, h stands for height, and s stands for the length of each side of the base. In this activity, you will use this formula to approximate the side lengths of two pyramids in Egypt. Then you will determine the side length needed to create models of the pyramids. Task 1: Square Roots Task points:
a. Use opposite operations to rewrite the equation.
b. Isolate s by using the opposite operation of squaring.
c. Find the side length of Khufu’s pyramid.
d. Research the side length of Khufu’s pyramid.
e. Find the side length of Khafre’s pyramid.
f. Research the side length of Khafre’s pyramid.
g. Find the difference between the side lengths of Khufu’s and Khafre’s pyramids.
Task 2
a. Find the side length of Kristina’s first model.
b. Find the volume of Kristina’s second model.
c. Find the side length of Kristina’s second model.
d. Determine whether the first model is to scale.
e. Determine whether the second model is to scale.
