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 plug these values into the formula:
231 = (1/3) * 7 * 9 * h
231 = (63/3) * h
231 = 21h
h = 231 / 21
h = 11
Therefore, the height of the rectangular pyramid is 11 cm.
