What are the dimensions of the Great Pyramid?

Question

Please help me!! And if you can tell me,how were they built?

Answer 1

Papyrus documents and existing cubit measuring rods give us the units of measure used to specify the plan of the pyramid and so it is thought that, at construction, the Great Pyramid was 280 Egyptian royal cubits tall (146.6 meters or 480.9 feet), but with erosion and the theft of its topmost stone (the pyramidion) its current height is 138.8 m. Each base side was 440 royal cubits, with each royal cubit measuring 0.524 m (20.6 inches). Thus, the base was originally almost 231 m on a side and covered approximately 53,000 square metres with a slope angle of 51°50'40" (seked = 5½).

Today each side of the pyramid has an approximate length of about 230.4 meters (755.8 feet). The reduction in size and area of the structure into its current rough-hewn appearance is due to the absence of its original polished casing stones, some of which measured up to two and a half metres thick and weighed more than 15 tonnes.

Answer 2

Cole reported the following data for the length of the sides:

North
230,253 mm.
East
230,391

South
230,454

West
230,357
Average
230,364


Cole calculated also the maximum possible error, due to the state of the remains, of the difficulty to determine corners with absolute exactitude:

North
6 mm. at either end
East
6 mm. at either end

South
10 mm. at West end,30 mm. at East end

West
30 mm. at either end


The casing stones for the Great Pyramid were cut in quarries from Tura and Masara located on the east bank of the Nile on outskirts of Cairo.

The second source below has lots of statistics about the Great Pyramid.
