Archaeology students are constructing a replica of the Great Pyramid of Giza that they will then fill with sand. The replica is to be the size of the original pyramid. The Great Pyramid is approximately meters tall and each side of the base is approximately meters long. Based on these measurements, how many cubic meters of sand will the students need? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Archaeology students are constructing a replica of the Great Pyramid of Giza that they will then fill with sand. The replica is to be 120the size of the original pyramid. The Great Pyramid is approximately 147 meters tall and each side of the base is approximately 230 meters long. Based on these measurements, how many cubic meters of sand will the students need? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

972 m^3 of sand

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of original pyramid = 147 meters

Each side of the base = 230 meters (that is both the base length and base width).

If replica pyramid is to be 1/20 the size of the original pyramid :

Size dimension of replica pyramid will therefore be,

Height = 1/20 × 147 = 7.35metres

Each Base = 1/20 × 230 = 11.5 metres

To calculate the amount of sand required, we can get these by Calculating the volume of the pyramid which us the amount of space occupied by an object.

The volume of a pyramid is given by:

(Base length × base width × height) ÷ 3

( 7.35 m × 11.5 m × 11.5 m) / 3

972.0375 m^3

That means the volume of the pyramid is 972.0375 m^3

answer set (b) 0.5, 3/4 80% is in order from least to greatest.  

step-by-step explanation:

in order to compare rational numbers to each other, it is much easier if they are in the same form.   typically, the best form in which to evaluate rational numbers is in decimals.   in order to convert a percent to a decimal, you would divide the given percentage by 100.   you can also accomplish the conversion by moving the decimal point over two places to the left.   for example, the decimal value of 80% is 80/100, or 0.8.   in order to convert a fraction to a decimal, you need to divide the numerator by the denominator.   for example, 3/4 is 0.75.   so, for choice (b) 0.5 3/4 (0.75), 80% (0.8) is the only choice in which the numbers are in order from least to greatest.
