The horizontal acreage of the pyramid at the height of the floor of the king’s chamber is 9.87 or π².
If the height of the pyramid is taken as the diameter of a sphere, the surface area of all four sides of the pyramid is equal to the surface area of the sphere times 4/π and the volume of the pyramid is equal to the volume of the sphere times π/2.
The height of 126 cubits with a diagonal half base of 140 cubits and a half base of 99 cubits are the dimensions of the pyramid from the height the king's chamber shafts exit the pyramid.

 Slant Range Discussion
At greater distances the slant ranges are closer to the true horizontal ranges and the compression effect is less severe.
As discussed in the "Slant Range Distortion" section, the distorting effect is greatest at the shorter ranges from the sonar.
The measured slant range is the hypotenuse,measured as 27 meters, and the horizontal offset or range is the other leg (side scan sonar always assumes a flat bottom).

Let's ignore the curvature and pretend it is. The area of this piece is the product of its height l (along the slant) and its length, that is, its circumference C around the middle.
If we cut all the pieces so their actual heights h are the same, then the slant height l of each piece will get larger as it gets closer to the top or bottom and becomes more slanted.
In fact, the ratio of the slant height to the actual height is the same as the ratio of the radius of the sphere, r, to the radius of the ring, x: *********** *****

The slant height—the height of a lateral face—of the pyramid can be found using the Pythagorean theorem, as it is simply the longer leg of a right triangle whose hypotenuse is 6 cm and whose shorter leg is 3 cm.

One half the base circumference times the slant height S, will result in the area of the lateral surface.
But, instead of r times C and dividing by two__ we multiply poly pi times r (instead of d), which gives immediately one half circumference, and then simply multiply times the lateral slant height line S, for lateral surface area.
