A cell phone telecommunication tower stands in the shape of a rectangular Pyramid.The tower stands 80 m tall and rest on a base that is 15 m by 20 m.What is the volume of the tower?
A. 24,000 m^3
B. 70 m^3
C. 8,000 m^3
D. 12,000 m^3
The volume of a rectangular pyramid can be calculated using the formula: V = (1/3) * base area * height
First, we need to calculate the base area of the pyramid:
Base area = 15 m * 20 m = 300 m^2
Now, we can calculate the volume of the pyramid:
V = (1/3) * 300 m^2 * 80 m = 8,000 m^3
Therefore, the volume of the tower is 8,000 m^3.
C. 8,000 m^3
