Answer 1

Explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

One side of the square base is 6 inches, say a.

Suppose the height of the pyramid is h

The volume of square pyramid shaped container is given as 96

The formula for volume is =
`(1)/(3)a^2*h`

`96=(1)/(3)*6^2*h`

Multiply 3 in both sides

`96*3=36*h`

h=8

So the height of pyramid is 8 inches. : Answer
