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

It is {{{sqrt(180/5)}}} = {{{sqrt(36)}}} = 6 cm.

Now find the height of the vase.

900 mL contribute {{{900/(6*6)}}} = 25 cm to the height.

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

<U>Answer</U>. The square at the base has the size of 6 cm. The height is 30 cm.
