A cell phone telecommunication tower stands in the shape of a rectangular pyramid. The tower stands 80m tall and rests on a base that is 15m by 20 m. What is the volume of the tower?

Answer 1

First, we need to find the volume of the rectangular pyramid. The formula for the volume of a rectangular pyramid is given by:

Volume = (1/3) * base area * height

First, let's find the base area:
Base area = length * width
Base area = 15m * 20m
Base area = 300m^2

Now, substitute the values into the volume formula:
Volume = (1/3) * 300m^2 * 80m
Volume = 24000m^3

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular pyramid-shaped cell phone telecommunication tower is 24000 cubic meters.
