Tlachihualtepetl is a pyramid in Mexico. Each side of the base measures 450 meters and had an original height of 66 meters. How much treasure could fit inside the pyramid if it were perfectly hollow?

Respuesta :

Answer:

44,55,000 cubic meters of treasure could fit the pyramid.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Base measure = 450 meters

Height  = 66 meters

The volume of the pyramid is given by:

[tex]V = \dfrac{AH}{3}[/tex]

where A is the ares of the base and H is the height of the pyramid.

Putting values, we get,

[tex]V = \dfrac{1}{3}\times (450\times 450) \times 66\\\\V = 4455000\text{ cubic meters}[/tex]

Thus, 4455000 cubic meters of treasure could fit the pyramid.
