A) 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)
To find the volume of the square pyramid perfume bottle, we use the formula V = (1/3) * base area * height.
First, we need to find the area of the base, which is a square. The formula for the area of a square is A = s^2, where s is the length of one side of the square. Given that s = 3 in, we can calculate the area of the base as:
A = 3^2
A = 9 square inches
Now, we can substitute the values we have into the formula for the volume of a pyramid:
V = (1/3) * 9 * 5
V = 15 cubic inches
Therefore, the volume of the crystal perfume bottle is 15 cubic inches.
