Question 1085837: Two similar vases have base area of 75cm2 and 147cm2.
Find, in its simplest integer form, the ratio of the height of the bigger vase to the height of the smaller vase. Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Only knowing the base area of a solid does not give you any information regarding the height of the solid.
Unless by similar you mean that they are scaled versions of each other.
More information is needed.

If they are scaled versions, then the square root of the ratio of the areas will be the length (and also height) scale factor,
Since the scale factor is not an integer, this may not be the intended solution.
