ANSWER

The height of the square pyramid is 4.8m

EXPLANATION

The volume of a square pyramid is calculated using the formula:


Volume = (1)/(3)(base \: area) * height

It was given that;

The volume of the square pyramid is


25 (3)/(5) {m}^(3)

The side length of the square base is


4m

We substitute the given values and then solve for the height.


25 (3)/(5) = (1)/(3)( {4}^(2) ) * height

We solve for the height to obtain;


height = (25 (3)/(5) )/( (16)/(3) )

We simplify to get;


height = 4.8m

Hence, the height of the square pyramid is 4.8 meters.
