Answer:

9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume is the product of cross sectional area and height.

V=Ah

Where A is area of base and h is height

Given that the base is square, the area of square is given by A=b*b

Xonsidering that the area is given as 81 square inches then

b*b=81

b is the square root of 81 which is +9 or -9

Since base must be positive interger, then base is 9 inches
