The formula for the volume of a rectangular pyramid is V = (1/3) * base area * height.
First, calculate the base area:
base area = length * width
base area = 15 m * 20 m
base area = 300 m^2
Next, plug in the base area and height into the formula:
V = (1/3) * 300 m^2 * 80 m
V = (1/3) * 24000 m^3
V = 8000 m^3
Therefore, the volume of the tower is 8,000 m^3.
