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

To find the volume of the rectangular pyramid tower, we can use the formula for the volume of a pyramid:

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

In this case, the base of the tower is a rectangle with dimensions 15m by 20m. So the base area is:

Base area = 15m * 20m = 300m^2

Now we can plug in the values into the formula:

Volume = (1/3) * 300m^2 * 80m
Volume = (1/3) * 24000m^3
Volume = 8000m^3

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular pyramid tower is 8000 cubic meters.
