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 8,000 m3 8,000 m cubed 70 m3 70 m cubed 12,000 m3 12,000 m cubed 24,000 m3.
The volume of a rectangular pyramid can be calculated using the formula:
Volume = (1/3) * base area * height
First, we find the base area by multiplying the length by the width:
Base area = 15 m * 20 m = 300 m^2
Now, we use the formula to find the volume:
Volume = (1/3) * 300 m^2 * 80 m
Volume = 8000 m^3
Therefore, the volume of the tower is 8,000 m^3.
