A rectangular pyramid has a length of 7 cm and a width of 9 cm. Its volume is 231 cubic centimeters. Use the formula for the volume of a pyramid to calculate the height of this pyramid. in 2 to 3 sentences explain your work
The formula for the volume of a pyramid is V = (1/3) * base area * height. We are given the base dimensions (length = 7 cm, width = 9 cm) and the volume (231 cubic centimeters). We can rearrange the formula to solve for height: height = (3 * V) / (base area). Plugging in the given values, we have height = (3 * 231) / (7 * 9) = 11 cm.
