Step 1 of 3

We have to estimate the monetary value of the given gold pile. However, we are not given the dimensions of the gold pile, therefore we will assume values for length, breadth and height of the pile.

Let's assume that the height of Freia has a height of 200cm, then the gold pile at least should have 200cm in height.

Height of gold pile:

Width of gold pile:
