[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The correct answer is 40π ft^3.

To find the volume of a cylindrical bale, we use the formula V = πr^2h.

The radius of the bale can be calculated by dividing the length (5 ft) by 2, giving us a radius of 2.5 ft.

Plugging in the values of the radius and height into the formula, we get V = π(2.5)^2(4) = 40π ft^3.

Therefore, there is 40π ft^3 of hay in the round bale.
