To find the volume of a pyramid, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Volume} = \frac{1}{3} \times \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height}
\]

In this case, the base of the pyramid is a rectangle with a width of 24 feet and a length of 15 feet. First, we need to calculate the base area:

\[
\text{Base Area} = \text{Width} \times \text{Length} = 24 \, \text{ft} \times 15 \, \text{ft} = 360 \, \text{ft}^2
\]

Now we can plug the base area and the height (20 ft) into the volume formula:

\[
\text{Volume} = \frac{1}{3} \times 360 \, \text{ft}^2 \times 20 \, \text{ft}
\]

Calculating that:

\[
\text{Volume} = \frac{1}{3} \times 7200 \, \text{ft}^3 = 2400 \, \text{ft}^3
\]

So, the volume of the pyramid is **2400 cubic feet**.
