The Cholula pyramid in Mexico has a height of approximately 217 feet and a base approximately 1476 feet by 1476 feet. The Cheops pyramid (part of the great pyramids) is taller with an approximate height of 480 feet but with a 755 feet by 855 feet base. Determine which pyramid has the most volume

The volume of a pyramid by definition is given by:

V = (1/3) * (ab) * (h)

Where,

ab: area of the base

h: height

For The Cholula pyramid:

V1 = (1/3) * (1476 * 1476) * (217)

V1 = 157583664 feet

For The Cheops pyramid:

V2 = (1/3) * (755 * 855) * (480)

V2 = 103284000 feet

We observed that:

V1> V2

Answer:

The Cholula pyramid has the most volume
