the height is 18 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

In the absence of an image to ascertain which of the pyramid we are required to find, I will be solving for the square pyramid due to the limited information given.

Volume of square pyramid = a² × h/2

where a = base edge

base edge = 5 in

volume = 225 in³

225 = (5)² × h/2

225 = 25 × h/2

225 = 25h/2

Cross multiply:

2(225) = 25h

450 = 25h

Divide both sides by 25:

450/25 = 25h/25

h = 18 in

Hence, the height is 18 inches
