The base length of the Pyramid of Giza is 2 3 0 m , the height is 1 4 7 m and the Pyramid is made of crude limestone which has a density of about 2 3 0 0 kgm − 3 . The Pyramid of Giza is a square pyramid. The mass of the pyramid may be written in scientific notation to three significant figures in the form a b c × 1 0 7 kg .
What is a b c ?
You can compare the mass you calculated with that of the mass listed in the Wikipedia page for the Great Pyramid of Giza . It is in the first paragraph of 'History and Description'.

*mass, weight is a force
I taught the 230m was the perimeter of the base
Great answer...
i just took the volume of cylinder...:(
its nit the weight ,, it should be mass,, because mass is expressed in kg. and weight in N,
usually weight is in congruent in mathematical calculations. it is implied there that mass is equal to weight.
Since the formula for calculating the Volume of square pyramid is given as :
V= a^2 * h/2 . . . So, take a=230m base of pyramid take h=147m height of pyramid So we have : V=2.59 Exp 6 Since we know : density= mass/volume. therefore : mass = density*volume so we have mass=595.7Exp 7 kg. So abc=596
Here, base length of pyramid=230 m and height = 147 m.
General formula of volume of pyramid= Base Length * Base Width * Height * 3 1
Now, we get, Volume of the pyramid = 2 3 0 × 2 3 0 × 1 4 7 × 3 1 = 2 5 9 2 1 0 0
We know that, D e n s i t y = V o l u m e M a s s ⟹ 2 3 0 0 = 2 5 9 2 1 0 0 M a s s ⟹ ( M a s s ) = 2 3 0 0 × 2 5 9 2 1 0 0 ⟹ ( M a s s ) = 5 9 6 1 8 3 0 0 0 0 ⟹ ( M a s s ) = 5 9 6 × 1 0 7
Now, we see mass is in form a b c × 1 0 7 with a b c = 5 9 6
the base of volume of the pyramid is false which is = 1/3 * b*h where: b is area of the base of pyramid , h is height of pyramid.
Density = Mass/Volume
Volume of pyramid = 1/3 x base x height = 1/3 x 230 x 230 x 147 = 2592100m^3 Density = 2300kgm^-3
So, Mass = Volume x Density = 2592100 x 2300 = 5961830000 = 596 x 10^7kg

conclusion:your procedure to calculate and and investigate is not true.the true value is: 1788.53669018472 for abc.
Volume of square pyramid = 1/3 base area × height and mass = density × volume
Required volume = 1/3 × 230 × 230 × 147 × 2300 = 593.183 × 10^7 kg
volume the pyramid is h base area 1/3 147 230 230*1/3 = 2592100
then volume multiplied with density 2592100*2300 = 5961830000.
so we get the result is 596*10^7 answer is 596
m = ρ × V = ( 2 3 0 0 kg m − 3 ) × ( 3 1 × ( 2 3 0 m ) 2 × 1 4 7 m ) = 5 9 6 × 1 0 7 kg
It is given that the volume (V) of pyramid is equal a third of its base area (s^2) multiplied by its height (h). V = (1/3)(s^2)(h) = (1/3)(230^2)(147) = 2.592.100 m^3. And its mass (m) equals to its volume (V) multiplied by its density (p). m = Vp = (2.592.100)(2.300) = 5.961.830.000. And this value is the same as 596 \times 10^7.
m = ρ V = ρ 3 1 A h = 2 3 0 0 × 3 1 2 3 0 2 × 1 4 7 = 5 , 9 6 1 , 8 3 0 , 0 0 0 ≈ 5 9 6 × 1 0 7 k g
by simply defining the value of its density, d=m/v. first thing to do is to get the volume of the square pyramid which is v=(1/3)b^2 x h. you will get 2592100 m^3 . substituting all the values of d and v ,find for m. you will get 596x10^7 kg.
Consider the equation: $$ mass= density \times volume $$ The volume of a pyramid is $$ \frac{base \times height}{3} $$ so the Pyramid of Giza has a volume of $$ \frac {230^{2} \times 147} {3} = 2592100 $$ It follows that the mass, dV , is 596e7 kg, and thus abc is equal to 596.
First we calculate the volume of the pyramid with square base: V = 3 1 × S × h = 3 1 × 2 3 0 2 × 1 4 7 = 2 5 9 2 1 0 0 ( m 3 ) So the mass of the Pyramid is: m = V × d = 2 5 9 2 1 0 0 ∗ 2 3 0 0 ≈ 5 9 6 × 1 0 7 ( k g ) So the answer is 5 9 6
Mass is 596 kg. Because volume of the pyramid is V = a a h/3, where a = 230 m, h = 147 m, and mass m = V*r, where density r = 2300 kg/m^3.
The volume of a square pyramid is given by 1/3(base length) ^2(height). Therefore, I volume= 2592100 m^3 Mass = density * volume. Mass = 596× 10^7 kg.
We can find out The volume....by applying The formula....density=mass/volume

Pyramid of Giza is made up of Lime Stone. To calculate total weight --multiply total volume of pyramid with density of stones.
Volume of Pyramid---( 1/3) x Area of Square Base x height = ( 1/3) x 230 x 230 x 147=2592100 CuM
Weight of Pyramid= Volume x Density of Lime stone---- 2592100 x 2300 = 596183 0000==596x10^7 ( neglecting 0.183)--some stones may me missing due to time weathering and variation in length of sides
