1. Problem Description

We are asked to find the height of a rectangular-based pyramid given that its volume is 60 cm360 \text{ cm}^3 and its base area is 18 cm218 \text{ cm}^2.

2. Solution Steps

The formula for the volume of a pyramid is:
V=13AhV = \frac{1}{3} \cdot A \cdot h
where VV is the volume, AA is the base area, and hh is the height.
We are given V=60 cm3V = 60 \text{ cm}^3 and A=18 cm2A = 18 \text{ cm}^2. We need to solve for hh.
Substituting the given values into the formula:
60=1318h60 = \frac{1}{3} \cdot 18 \cdot h
60=6h60 = 6h
h=606h = \frac{60}{6}
h=10h = 10

3. Final Answer

The height of the pyramid is 10 cm.
The answer is A.
