    11 centimeters

    Step-by-step explanation:

    In this question, we are asked to calculate the height of a triangular pyramid given the volume, the base of the triangle and the height of the triangle

    To calculate this, we use the formula below;

    Mathematically V = 1/3 AH

    where A is the area of the triangular base and H is the height of the pyramid.

    The area of the triangular base according to the question is 1/2 * b * h = 1/2 * 10 * 6 = 30 square centimeters

    Plugging these values we have

    110 = 1/3 * 30 * H

    110 = 10H

    H = 110/10

    H = 11 centimeters

    height of pyramid is 11 cm

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given:-

    - The volume of triangular pyramid, V = 110 cm^3

    - The base of triangle, B = 10 cm

    - The height of triangle, H = 6 cm

    Find:-

    Find the height of the pyramid.

    Solution:-

    - A triangular pyramid is has its base face as a right angle triangle with Base "B" and Height "H". We wil first determine the Base Area of a triangle:

    Area = 0.5*B*H

    Area = 0.5*10*6

    Area = 30 cm^2

    - The volume of a pyramid in terms of base area and height "h" of the Pyramid is given as:

    Volume = (1/3) * Area*h

    - Plug in the values and solve for height of pyramid "h"

    h = 3*V / Area

    h = 3*110 / 30

    h = 11 cm

    - The height of the pyramid "h" is 11 cm.
