Just how big is that Pyramid?

The Great Pyramid of Giza was built some 45000 years ago, is one of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World and only one still standing,  and for nearly 4,000 years was the tallest building in the World.  How big is our school compared to this fabled structure? One way to measure size is by measuring the volume. If you treat the school like a rectangle, then Height X Width X Length gives us the volume of Bruce Middle School. No climbing the school to find the height!!! The size of the Great Pyramid of Giza can be found from this Link.  How does the volume of Bruce school compare to the volume of the Great Pyramid of Giza? Remember to show your work!
