Answer:

c

Explanation:

The volume (V) of a square based pyramid is calculated as

V =
(1)/(3) Ah ( A is the area of the base and h is the height )

Here V = 1350, thus


(1)/(3) × 15²h = 1350 ( multiply both sides by 3 to clear the fraction )

225h = 4050 ( divide both sides by 225 )

h = 18 ft → c
