Question
# Finding the Volume of Shapes

This exercise will guide you through calculating the volume of different shapes. You will need to round your answers to the nearest whole number.

## Problem Statement

**Find the volume of each figure. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.**

### a) Cylinder

- **Given:**
  - Radius \(r = 4 \text{ yards}\)
  - Height \(h = 5 \text{ yards}\)
- **Volume Formula for a Cylinder:** \( V = \pi r^2 h \)
- *Calculate the volume and provide your answer in cubic yards (yd³).*

[] yd³

### b) Rectangular Prism

- **Given:**
  - Length \(l = 6 \text{ inches}\)
  - Width \(w = 4 \text{ inches}\)
  - Height \(h = 3 \text{ inches}\)
- **Volume Formula for a Rectangular Prism:** \( V = l \times w \times h \)
- *The volume of the rectangular prism is:*

\[ 72 \text{ in}^3 \]

### Diagram
- **Explanation:**
  - A red rectangular prism is shown.
  - The dimensions are labeled as follows:
    - Length: 6 inches
    - Width: 4 inches
    - Height: 3 inches
