The volume of a square pyramid can be calculated using the formula (1/3) x base area x height.
In this case, the base area of the square pyramid is 2.75 x 2.75 = 7.5625 in^2. The height is also 2.75 in.
So, the volume is approximately (1/3) x 7.5625 x 2.75 = 6.9375 in^3, which rounds to 6.93 in^3.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
6.93 in.3
6.93 in. cubed
