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

Answer 1

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

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

First, calculate the base area of the pyramid:

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

Now, plug the base area, height, and the formula into the equation:

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

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