Answer:

The one which has a height of 3 units. H=3

Explanation:

Well, the volume of pyramid is equal to the area of base multiply by the height of pyramid and divide by 3. Writing as a formula it can be expressed as V=(A*H)/3 where V is volume of pyramid, A is area of base and H is the height of pyramid. If V=15 cubic units and A=15 square units, H should be equal to 3 (to be cancelled out by 3. Please look at formula above) in order to make V=15.
