Use the pyramid’s volume formula: (V=frac{1}{3}Bh)
Solve for height: (h=frac{3V}{B})
Measure or find the volume (V)
Measure or find the base area (B)
Substitute the values into (h=frac{3V}{B})
Calculate the height (h)
If the slant height is known, use the appropriate right triangle and the Pythagorean theorem
If the pyramid is regular, use the center of the base and the apex to form a right triangle
If side lengths and angles are known, use trigonometric relationships to find the height
