A crystal perfume bottle is in the shape of a square pyramid. The length of one of the sides of the base is 3 in., and the height of the bottle is 5 in. What is the volume of the bottle?(1 point) in.3
The volume of a square pyramid can be found using the formula:
V = (1/3) * (base area) * height
First, calculate the area of the base, which is a square:
Area of a square = side^2
Area of a square = 3 * 3
Area of a square = 9 in^2
Now, calculate the volume of the pyramid:
V = (1/3) * 9 * 5
V = (1/3) * 45
V = 15 in^3
Therefore, the volume of the crystal perfume bottle is 15 in^3.
