To find the height of the rectangular pyramid, we first need to calculate the area of the base by multiplying the length and width: 5 inches x 7 inches = 35 square inches. Then, we can use the formula for the volume of a pyramid (V = 1/3 * base area * height) to solve for the height: 105 cubic inches = 1/3 * 35 square inches * height. Simplifying, we get: 105 cubic inches = 35 square inches * height. Dividing by 35 square inches, we find that the height of the pyramid is 3 inches.
