Answer:

The height of the pyramid is [tex]50\ in[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of a triangular pyramid is equal to

[tex]V=\frac{1}{3}BH[/tex]

where

B is the area of the base

H is the height of the pyramid

we have

[tex]V=1,800\ in^{3}[/tex]

The area of the base B is equal to

[tex]B=\frac{1}{2}(12)(18)=108\ in^{2}[/tex]

substitute and solve for H

[tex]1,800=\frac{1}{3}(108)H[/tex]

[tex]5,400=(108)H[/tex]

[tex]H=5,400/(108)=50\ in[/tex]
