    To determine the height of each of the pyramid with respect to the height of the cube, we use the relationship between the volumes of the shapes. We do as follows:

    Volume of the cube = h^3

    Volume of all pyramid = 6 (h^2 (s/3)) where s is the height of a pyramid

    Equating the two equations since they are equal,

    h^3 = 6 (h^2 (s/3))

    Simplifying,

    h = 2s

    s = h/2

    Therefore, the height of each of the pyramid is equal to one-half units of the height of the cube.
