Answer:

[tex]h = 7.69cm[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Volume = 455cm^3[/tex]

[tex]l = h[/tex]

Where:

[tex]h \to height[/tex]

[tex]l \to base\ length[/tex]

Required

The height

The volume is calculated as:

[tex]Volume = l^2 * h[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]Volume = h^2 * h[/tex]

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

Rewrite as:

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

So, we have:

[tex]h^3 = 455cm^3[/tex]

Take cube roots

[tex]h = \sqrt[3]{455cm^3}[/tex]

[tex]h = 7.69cm[/tex] --- approximated
