The volume of a cylinder with radius 2 and height 4 is pi x 2 x 2 x 4 = 16 pi.
The volume of a triangular prism with area of triangular base 8 and height 5 is 8 x 5 = 40.
The volume of a cone with radius 2 and height 9 is pi x 2 x 2 x 9 x 1/3 = 12 pi.
The volume of a sphere of radius 6 is pi x 6 x 6 x 6 x 4/3 = 288 pi.
