Hello!
\n" ); document.write( "The formula for the volume of a square pyramid is:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"V+=+%281%2F3%29%28s%5E2%29h\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "where s is the side and h is the height. Here, s = 756 and h = 481. Therefore, the volume of this pyramid is:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"V+=+%281%2F3%29%2A%28756%5E2%29%2A481+=+91636272\" cubic feet.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now, the volume of each apartment is simply:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"35%2A20%2A8+=+5600\" cubic feet\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, the number of apartments needed to equal the volume of the Great Pyramids is:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"91636272%2F5600+=+16363.62\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So approximately 16,363 apartments with dimensions 35 ft x 20 ft x 8 ft are needed to have a volume equivalent to that of the Great Pyramids.\r
