The formula for the volume of a pyramid is V = (1/3) * base area * height.
To solve for the volume of the crystal perfume bottle, first calculate the area of the square base:
Area = side length * side length
Area = 3 in. * 3 in.
Area = 9 in^2
Now, substitute the values into the volume formula:
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 cubic inches.
