The volume of a pyramid is:
[tex]V=\frac{1}{3}\times B\times h[/tex]Where B is the area of the base and h is the height.
Since it's a square pyramid, the base has the shape of a square. So it's area is:
[tex]B=5in\times5in=25in^{2}[/tex]And we have that the volume is 225in³. We can replace these values into the formula for the volume and solve for h:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 225in^3=\frac{1}{3}\times25in^2\times h \\ \frac{3\times225in^{3}}{25in^2}=h \\ h=27in \end{gathered}[/tex]The height of the pyramid is 27 inches
