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](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/a242a625-2826-4f00-ad8f-039422d3d327/28c23e57-f0bb-44d3-a71a-523e32b4fd54/3hv43ms_thumbnail.jpeg)
