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

Question

What is the volume of the tower? (1 point)
• 24, 000 mi
• 70 m3
• 8, 000 m'
О 12, 000 m'

Answer 1

The volume of a rectangular pyramid can be calculated using the formula V = (1/3) * base area * height.

First, calculate the base area of the pyramid:
Base Area = length * width = 15 m * 20 m = 300 m^2

Now, plug in the values into the formula:
V = (1/3) * 300 m^2 * 80 m = 8000 m^3

Therefore, the correct answer is:
• 8,000 m^3
