The coordinates A (0, 0), B (0, 4), C (4, 4), and D (4, 0) are graphed and connected together. What three-dimensional shape will be created when this shape is rotated about the y-axis? Provide an explanation for your answer to receive full credit.

I've figured out that the shape would be a square, but I'm not sure what 3-D figure that would form.
