The calculated height of the pentagonal prism is 13 units.

How to determine the height of the pentagonal prism

The volume of a prism is the area of the base times the height. So, we can set up the equation:

Bh = 325

where:

  • B is the area of the base (25 square units)
  • h is the height

Plugging in the values we know, we get:

25h = 325

Dividing both sides by 25, we get:

h = 13

Hence, the height of the pentagonal prism is 13 units.
