As the first step, find the size of the square at the base.

It is sqrt%28180%2F5%29 = sqrt%2836%29 = 6 cm.

Now find the height of the vase.

900 mL contribute 900%2F%286%2A6%29 = 25 cm to the height.

Plus 5 cm, it is 25 + 5 = 30 cm.

Answer. The square at the base has the size of 6 cm. The height is 30 cm.
