Answer 1

To find the volume of a square pyramid, you can use the formula:

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

In this case, the base of the square pyramid is a square with side length 2.75 inches, and the height is also 2.75 inches.

First, calculate the base area:

Base area = 2.75 * 2.75 = 7.56 square inches

Now, plug in these values into the formula:

V = (1/3) * 7.56 * 2.75
V = 6.93 in^3

Therefore, the approximate volume of the ornament is 6.93 in^3.

So, the correct answer is: 6.93 in^3.
