Based on the pyramid shown above, the height is equal to 7 inches.

In Mathematics and Geometry, the volume of a pyramid can be calculated by using the following formula:

Volume = 1/3 × b × h

Where:

  • h represent the height of a pyramid.
  • b represent the base area of a pyramid.

By substituting the given parameters into the formula for the volume of a pyramid, the height of this pyramid can be calculated as follows;

Volume = 1/3 × b × h

224 = 1/3 × (8 × 12) × h

224 = 32h

Height, h = 224/32

Height, h = 7 inches.
