Answer:

b

Explanation:

A pyramid is a three-dimensional object. The base of a pyramid is a polygon. the top and the base of a polygon forms a triangle

The volume of a pyramid = 1/3 × (area of base x height)

volume = 36.67 m3

area = 10.0 m2,

height = ?

36.67 = 1/3 x (10 x h)

multiply both sides of the equation by 3

110.01 = 10h

divide both sides by 10

h = 11.0001 m
