To find the height of a cone given its volume and diameter, we can use the formula for the volume of a cone:

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h \]

Where:

  • \( V \) is the volume,
  • \( r \) is the radius,
  • \( h \) is the height.

Given:

  • The volume \( V = 225\pi \) cubic meters,
  • The diameter is 10 meters, so the radius \( r \) is half of the diameter:

\[ r = \frac{10}{2} = 5 \text{ meters} \]

Now, we can substitute \( V \) and \( r \) into the volume formula and solve for \( h \):

\[ 225\pi = \frac{1}{3} \pi (5^2) h \]

This simplifies to:

\[ 225\pi = \frac{1}{3} \pi (25) h \]

By cancelling \( \pi \) from both sides, we get:

\[ 225 = \frac{25}{3} h \]

Now, multiply both sides by 3 to eliminate the fraction:

\[ 675 = 25h \]

Now, divide both sides by 25 to solve for \( h \):

\[ h = \frac{675}{25} = 27 \]

Thus, the height of the cone is:

\[ \boxed{27} \text{ meters} \]
