To find the volume of each shape, we will use the formula:

1. Volume of a triangular prism = (1/2) x base x height x depth
2. Volume of a rectangular pyramid = base x height x depth

Given that the height of both shapes is 9 cm, we only need to determine the base and depth for each shape.

For the triangular prism, the base is a triangle with an area of 12 cm², and the depth is 6 cm. Therefore, the volume of the triangular prism is:

Volume = (1/2) x 12 cm² x 9 cm x 6 cm
Volume = 324 cm³

For the rectangular pyramid, the base is a rectangle with an area of 12 cm², and the depth is 6 cm. Therefore, the volume of the rectangular pyramid is:

Volume = 12 cm² x 9 cm x 6 cm
Volume = 648 cm³

Therefore, the volume of the triangular prism is 324 cm³, and the volume of the rectangular pyramid is 648 cm³.
