I assume you mean the volume of a rectangular box.
The formula for the volume of a rectangular shaped box is
Volume+=+Length%2A+Width%2A+Height
You are told the dimension of the base (the length and width) are both 13 ft. The volume is given as 234 cubic Ft. So
234+=+13+%2A+13+%2A+Height
234%2F%2813%2A13%29+=+Height
234%2F169+=+Height
1.385+=+Height in feet
