The Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt is a right pyramid with a square base. The pyramid is made of solid stone. The sides of the base are 230 m long. The diagram below represents this pyramid. V is the vertex of the pyramid, O is the center of the base, and M is the midpoint of side AB. Angle ABV = 58.3°. Find the length of VM. Calculate the height of the pyramid, VO. Calculate the volume of the pyramid.
