[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The formula for the volume of a rectangular pyramid is given by V = (1/3) * base area * height.

First, we need to calculate the base area:
Base area = 15m * 20m = 300 m^2

Now, we can calculate the volume of the tower:
V = (1/3) * 300m^2 * 80m
V = 24000 m^3

Therefore, the volume of the tower is 24,000 m^3.

The correct answer is: 24,000 m^3.
