(a) Use the expression  to determine a formula for the volume of a pyramid with a square base b and height h by letting a = 0.


(b) The Great Pyramid in Egypt had a square base of 756 feet and a height of 481 feet. Find the volume of the Great Pyramid. Compare it with the volume of the 273-foot-tall Louisiana Superdome, which has an approximate volume of 125 million cubic feet.*
