Answer:

The height is 10.2 inches

Explanation:

we know that

The volume of the triangular pyramid is given by the formula

V=(1)/(3)Bh

where

B is the area of the base

h is the height of the pyramid

we have

$V=85\ in^3$

$B=25\ in^2$

substitute

85=(1)/(3)(25)h

solve for h

$h=85(3)/25=10.2\ in$
