First find the volume in a square pyramid.
\n" ); document.write( "http://www.mathsteacher.com.au/year10/ch14_measurement/25_pyramid/21pyramid.htm
\n" ); document.write( "\"V%5Bp%5D+=+l%5E2%2Ah+%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"V%5Bp%5D+=+771%5E2+%2A+486+%2F+3+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"V%5Bp%5D+=+96299442\" cubic feet\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Next find the volume in one cube shaped apartment
\n" ); document.write( "\"V%5Ba%5D+=+l+%2A+w+%2A+h+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"V%5Ba%5D+=+35+%2A+20+%2A+8\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"v%5Ba%5D+=+5600+\" cubic feet\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now see how times larger in volume the pyramid is compared to the apartment
\n" ); document.write( "\"TimesBiggerInVolume+=+V%5Bp%5D+%2FV%5Ba%5D\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"TimesBigger+=+96299442+%2F5600+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"TimesBigger+=+17183.83+\"
\n" ); document.write( "So the volume of 17183 complete apartments fits in there.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
