To determine the most reasonable estimate for the figures and volume of a shed, we should consider both the shape of sheds generally built and the volume size that would be practical for a shed.
1. **A rectangular prism and a triangular prism with a volume of 1800 feet cubed:**
- A rectangular prism is a common shape for sheds, and a volume of 1800 cubic feet is reasonable for a shed.
2. **A cylinder and a cone with a volume of 125 feet cubed:**
- A volume of 125 cubic feet (about the size of a large furniture item or small storage area) is too small for a shed.
3. **A triangular prism and a sphere with a volume of 2950 feet cubed:**
- While a triangular prism can be a shape for a shed (though less common), the volume of 2950 cubic feet is fairly large, which could be reasonable for a large shed.
4. **A rectangular prism and a cylinder with a volume of 84 inches cubed:**
- 84 cubic inches is extremely small for any kind of shed and not practical.
**Conclusion:** The best option is **A rectangular prism and a triangular prism with a volume of 1800 feet cubed**, as it fits the general shape and reasonable size for a shed.

- 84 cubic inches is extremely small for any kind of shed and not practical.
