3. Giza in Egypt is the site of the three great Egyptian pyramids. Each pyramid has
a square base. The largest pyramid was built for Khufu. When first built, it had
base edges of 754 feet and a height of 481 feet. Over the centuries, some of the
stone eroded away and some was taken for newer buildings. Khufu’s pyramid
today has base edges of 745 feet and a height of 471 feet. To the nearest cubic
foot, find the difference between the original and current volumes of the pyramid.
