Respuesta :

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
324 = 27h

h = 12 cm

The height of the container must be 12 centimeters.
