Answer

$ 9\;cm$

Work Step by Step

The given values are Base area $B=147\;cm^2$. Volume $V=1323\;cm^3$ Let the length is $l$ and width is $w$. Formula:- Base area $B=l\times w$. Volume $V= l\times w\times h$. Divide volume by base area. $\Rightarrow \frac{V}{B}=\frac{l\times w\times h}{l\times w}$ Cancel common terms. $\Rightarrow \frac{V}{B}=h$ Substitute the values of $V$ and $B$. $\Rightarrow \frac{1323\;cm^3}{147\;cm^2}=h$ Simplify. $\Rightarrow 9\;cm=h$ Hence the height is $ 9\;cm$.
