Answered by GPT 3.5
Certainly!

The height of the Great Pyramid of Giza can be calculated using the Pythagorean Theorem.

The slant height of the pyramid (represented by the hypotenuse of the right triangle) is 610 ft. The base of the pyramid (represented by the adjacent side of the right triangle) is 751 ft.

Using the Pythagorean Theorem:

Height^2 + Base^2 = Slant Height^2
Height^2 + 751^2 = 610^2
Height^2 + 564001 = 372100
Height^2 = 372100 - 564001
Height^2 = 226801
Height ≈ √226801
Height ≈ 476.09 ft

Therefore, the approximate height of the Great Pyramid of Giza is 476.09 feet.
