    To estimate the volume, you will use the formula for finding volume of a pyramid.

    You will need to convert the height, given in feet, to yards.

    (48 x 10) / 3 = 160 yards

    You also need to convert the area of the base to square yards.

    571536 ft.² / 9 ft.² (1 square yd) = 63,504 yd.².

    V = 1/3 BH, where B is the area of the base.

    V = 1/3 x 63504 x 160

    V = 3,386880 cubic yards

    The approximate volume of The Great Pyramid is 3,386,880 yd.³.
