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)
The volume of a square pyramid can be calculated using the formula V = (1/3) * (area of base) * height.
First, we need to find the area of the base. Since the base is a square, we know that the area is length * width. In this case, with one side being 3 in., the area of the base is 3 * 3 = 9 in^2.
Now, plug in the values into the formula for volume: V = (1/3) * 9 * 5 = 15 in^3.
Therefore, the volume of the crystal perfume bottle is 15 cubic inches.
