Answer:

  • 28 cm and 32 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the pyramid:

  • V = 1/3Bh

Find base area:

  • B = 1/2(20 + 30)*20 = 500 cm²

Substitute value of the volume and find the height of the pyramid:

  • 4500 = 1/3*500*h
  • h = 4500*3/500
  • h = 27 cm

The boxes with h > 27 can fit the pyramid:

  • 28 cm and 32 cm

Area of base

  • 1/2(30+20)(20)
  • 10(50)
  • 500cm²

Volume=1/3Area×Height

Height

  • 4500(3)(500)
  • 27cm

So answers are

boxes of 28cm and 32cn
