A holiday ornament is in the shape of a square pyramid has the following dimensions 2.75×2.75×2.75 inches what is the approximate volume of the ornament around your answer to the nearest hundredth
The volume of a square pyramid can be calculated using the formula:
Volume = (1/3) * base area * height
In this case, the base of the square pyramid is a square with sides of 2.75 inches and the height is also 2.75 inches. Therefore, the volume can be calculated as:
Volume = (1/3) * (2.75 * 2.75) * 2.75
Volume = (1/3) * 7.5625 * 2.75
Volume = 1.9125 * 2.75
Volume = 5.2587 cubic inches
Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the approximate volume of the ornament is 5.26 cubic inches.
