Area of square base = 324 m²

Length of the square side = √324 = 18

The side of the square is the base of the triangle.

Area of triangle = (1/2)*base* height

135 = (1/2)*18* h

135 = 9h

135/9 = h

15 = h

height = 15 m


To get the height of the Pyramid, the height of the Triangle and half the length of the side of the square form a right angled triangle.

Hypotenus = 15
Half length of square = 18/2 = 9
Height of Pyramid = H

By Pythagoras' Theorem:

15² = H² + 9²

225 =H² + 81

 H² + 81 = 225

H²  = 225 - 81

H²  = 144          Take square root of both sides

H  = √144

H = 12

Height = 12 meters.

Option C.
