At a farm, animals are fed bales of hay and buckets of grain. Each bale of hay is in the shape of a rectangular prism. The base has side lengths 2 feet and 3 feet, and the height is 5 feet. Each bucket of grain is a cylinder with a diameter of 3 feet. The height of the bucket is 5 feet, the same as the height of the bale.
