Volume of the pyramid = (1/3) x Area of the base x Height ---------- (1)

As the base length = 5 feet

So Area of the base = 5 x 5 = 25 square feet

While volume of the pyramid = 75 cubic feet

Putting values in equation (1);

75 = (1/3) x 25 x Height

Height = (75 x 3) / 25

Height = 9feet

So 2nd option is correct.
