Use the following information to answer
questions 32-34.
When it was constructed 4,500 years ago, the Great
Pyramid in Egypt had a height of 147 meters and contained
roughly 2.3 million stone blocks. It is estimated that
5.5 million tons of limestone, 8,000 tons of granite, and
500,000 tons of mortar were used in its construction. In the
side view shown below, an ancient observer found the
angle of elevation at D to the top of the pyramid to be 39°.
