Question 33495
Hello!
The formula for the volume of a square pyramid is:

{{{V = (1/3)(s^2)h}}}

where s is the side and h is the height. Here, s = 756 and h = 481. Therefore, the volume of this pyramid is:

{{{V = (1/3)*(756^2)*481 = 91636272}}} cubic feet.

Now, the volume of each apartment is simply:

{{{35*20*8 = 5600}}} cubic feet

Therefore, the number of apartments needed to equal the volume of the Great Pyramids is:

{{{91636272/5600 = 16363.62}}}

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.


I hope this helps!
