To find the volume of a rectangular prism, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Volume} = \text{length} \times \text{width} \times \text{height} \]

Given the dimensions of the rectangular prism:

  • Length = 5 cm
  • Width = 9 cm
  • Height = 4 cm

Now, substitute these values into the formula:

\[ \text{Volume} = 5 , \text{cm} \times 9 , \text{cm} \times 4 , \text{cm} \]

First, calculate \( 5 \times 9 \):

\[ 5 \times 9 = 45 \]

Next, multiply this result by 4:

\[ 45 \times 4 = 180 \]

So, the volume of the rectangular prism is:

\[ \text{Volume} = 180 , \text{cm}^3 \]

Thus, the final answer is:

\[ \text{Volume} = 180 , \text{cm}^3 \]
