The maximum volume of a square pyramid that can fit inside the cube would be half the volume of the cube.
Volume of cube = (side length)^3
Volume of cube = 15cm x 15cm x 15cm
Volume of cube = 3375 cm^3
Maximum volume of square pyramid = 3375 cm^3 / 2 = 1687.5 cm^3
Rounded to the nearest whole number, the maximum volume of a square pyramid that can fit inside the cube would be 1688 cm^3.
