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?
___ in. 3
The volume of a square pyramid can be calculated using the formula V = (1/3) * base area * height.
The base area of the square pyramid is the area of one of the square sides. Since the length of one of the sides of the base is 3 in, the area would be 3 in * 3 in = 9 in^2.
Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
V = (1/3) * 9 in^2 * 5 in
V = (1/3) * 45 in^3
V = 15 in^3
Therefore, the volume of the crystal perfume bottle is 15 in^3.
