    Volume of the sheet cake:

    V (prism) = 12 * 9 * 2 = 216 in³

    Volume of the birthday cake:

    V (cylinder) = r² * π * h = 4.5² * 3.14 * 4 = 254.34 in³

    Then we will use the proportion:

    216 : 254.34 = 36000 : x

    216 x = 254.34 * 3600

    216 x = 915,660

    x = 915.660 : 216

    x = 4,239.17 ≈ 4,240

    Answer:

    d. 4,240
