To find the altitude of a pyramid using the volume formula, we can rearrange the formula to isolate the altitude:

Volume = (base area * altitude) / 3

Given that the volume is 910 cm^3, the length is 13 cm, and the width is 15 cm, we can find the base area:

Base area = length * width = 13 cm * 15 cm = 195 cm^2

Now, we can substitute these values back into the volume formula:

910 cm^3 = (195 cm^2 * altitude) / 3

Multiplying both sides by 3 to get rid of the fraction:

3 * 910 cm^3 = 195 cm^2 * altitude

2730 cm^3 = 195 cm^2 * altitude

Dividing both sides by 195 cm^2:

2730 cm^3 / 195 cm^2 = altitude

Simplifying:

14 cm = altitude

Therefore, the altitude of the pyramid is 14 cm.
