Pyramids of Giza POTW

The Pyramids of Giza stand on the west bank of the Nile River out- side Cairo, Egypt. There are 10 of them, including 3 of the largest, best preserved pyramids in Egypt.

The pyramid of Khufu, called the Great Pyramid, contains more than 2 million stone blocks that average 2.3 metric tons each. The pyramid was originally 481 feet tall, but some of its upper stones are gone, and now it stands about 450 feet high. Its base covers about 13 acres (Note: 1 acre = 43,560 square feet).

Scholars believe that it took about 100,000 men to build the pyramid, and it took about 4 months to complete.

If this is the case, on average, how many cubic feet of pyramid were built by each worker per day?

Need help with volume?
