A cell phone telecommunication tower stands in the shape of a rectangular pyramid. The tower stands 80 m tall and rests on a base that is 15 m by 20 m. What is the volume of the tower?(1 point) Responses 12,000 m3 12,000 m cubed 24,000 m3 24,000 m cubed 8,000 m3 8,000 m cubed 70 m3 70 m cubed
The volume of a rectangular pyramid is given by the formula V = (1/3) * base area * height.
Given that the base of the tower is 15 m by 20 m and the height is 80 m, we can calculate the volume as follows:
V = (1/3) * 15 * 20 * 80
V = (1/3) * 300 * 80
V = 100 * 80
V = 8000 m^3
Therefore, the volume of the tower is 8,000 m^3.
So, the correct answer is: 8,000 m^3
