A holiday ornament in the shape of a square Pyramid has the following dimensions 2.75 x 2.75 x2.75 in. What is the approximate volume of the ornament. Round to nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

The formula for the volume of a square pyramid is:

V = (1/3) * base area * height

In this case, the base is a square with sides of 2.75 inches, so the base area is:

2.75 * 2.75 = 7.5625 square inches

The height of the pyramid is also 2.75 inches. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

V = (1/3) * 7.5625 * 2.75
V = 6.5471875 cubic inches

Rounding to the nearest hundredth, the volume of the ornament is approximately 6.55 cubic inches.
