1 cm
2 cm
6 cm
7 cm

Answer 1

The answer is 6 cm aka C

Explanation:

Answer 2

Volume of a pyramid is defined as:

let V = volume

Let l = length

Let w = width

Let h = height

V = (l*w*h) / 3.

Plug our values in.

12 cm^3 = (3 * 2 * h) / 3.

Multiply each side by 3.

36 = 3 * 2 * h.

Simplify the right side of the equation.

36 = 6 * h.

Divide each side by 6

6 = h
