Take into account that the volume of the given figure is:

V = A·s

where A is the area of the triangular face of the figure.

Calculate A, by using the following formula:

A = b·h/2

where b is the base (b = 6 mm) and h is he height (h = 11 mm). Replace theses values into the formula for A:

A = (6 mm)(11 mm)/2

A = 33 mm²

Next, in the formula for V, solve for s and replace the previous values of A and V = 264 mm³, to obtain s:

V = A·s

s = V/A

s = (264 mm³)/(33 mm²)

s = 8 mm

Hence, the value of s is 8 mm
