The volume of a pyramid by definition is given by:
 V = (1/3) * (ab) * (h)
 Where,
 ab: area of the base
 h: height
 For The Cholula pyramid:
 V1 = (1/3) * (1476 * 1476) * (217)
 V1 = 157583664 feet
 For The Cheops pyramid:
 V2 = (1/3) * (755 * 855) * (480)
 V2 = 103284000 feet
 We observed that:
 V1> V2
 Answer:
 The Cholula pyramid has the most volume
