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)
• 12,000 m3
• 24,000 m'
• 70 m3
• 8, 000 m'
The volume of a rectangular pyramid can be calculated using 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:
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.
