You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If you know the area of the base, then you can find the height.

This is because

Volume = (Area of Base)*(Height)

V = B*h

where B = area of base, h = height

-----------------------------------------

Solve for h to get

h+=+V%2FB

So if you know what B is, then you can plug in V = 200 and the value of B, then evaluate to get your answer.
