To find the necessary height of the triangular pyramid you will use the formula for finding the volume of a pyramid and solve for the missing height.

V = 1/3Bh, where B is the area of the base.

324 = 1/3 x 81 x h
<u>324</u> = <u>27h</u>
27 27
h = 12 cm

The height of the container must be 12 centimeters.
