The base of a regular right pyramid is a square with the side length of 6 cm. If its volume is 144 cm³, what is its height?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Side = 6 cm, Volume = 144 cm³

Volume = (1/3) × Base Area × Height

Base Area = 6² = 36

144=13×36×h=12h144 = \frac{1}{3} \times 36 \times h = 12h

h = 144/12 = 12 cm
