The approximate volume of a square pyramid can be calculated as V = (1/3) * base area * height.

Base area = 2.75 * 2.75 = 7.56 square inches
Height = 2.75 inches

V = (1/3) * 7.56 * 2.75
V ≈ 6.93 cubic inches

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

Correct response: 6.93 in.³
