The formula for the volume of a rectangular pyramid is:

V = (1/3) * length * width * height

Given that the length is 7 cm, the width is 9 cm, and the volume is 231 cubic centimeters, we can substitute these values into the formula:

231 = (1/3) * 7 * 9 * h
231 = (21h)/3
231 = 7h
h = 231 / 7
h = 33

Therefore, the height of the rectangular pyramid is 33 cm.
What does the “*” mean?
The "*" symbol in mathematics represents multiplication. In this case, when we write 7 * 9, it means multiplying 7 by 9 to get the product, which is 63. Similarly, when we calculate (1/3) * 7 * 9 * h, it means multiplying (1/3) by 7, then by 9, and finally by h.
