d.The height of each pyramid is h units.

Answer:

height of each pyramid must be 3h units

Explanation:

As we know that the volume of the cube is same as that of volume of square pyramid

so we have volume of the cube is given as

[tex]V = h^3[/tex]

now if the base area of pyramid and the cube is same

so we will have

[tex]V_{pyramid} = \frac{1}{3} Base\: Area \times height[/tex]

[tex]V_{pyramid} = \frac{1}{3} h^2 \times y[/tex]

now since both have same volume

[tex]\frac{1}{3}h^2 y = h^3[/tex]

[tex]y = 3h[/tex]

height of each pyramid must be 3h units
