Answer:

The difference in the volume between the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Pyramid of Kukulcan  is approximately 2561850 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have both pyramids as rectangular pyramids, therefore, volume of pyramid is given by Volume = [tex]\frac{1}{3} \times Area \ of \ base \ \times Height[/tex]

For the Great Pyramid of Giza,

Height = 147 meters

Area of base = 52900 m²

Volume = 1/3 × 52900 ×147 = 2592100 m³

For the Pyramid of Kukulcan,

Height = 30 meters

Area of base = 3,025 m²

Volume = 1/3 × 3,025 × 30= 30250 m³

Therefore, the difference in the volume of the two pyramids is approximately 2592100 m³ - 30250 m³ = 2561850 m³.
