Answer 1

Given:

The length of the prism = 5 ft.

The width of the prism = 1.5 ft.

The height of the prism = 1,25 ft.

The pole is in the shape of a rectangle with length =1.25ft and width =1.5 ft.

To find:

We need to find the area of both poles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of both poles = 2 times the area of the rectangle with length =1.25ft and width =1.5 ft.

Consider the formula to find the area of the rectangle.

`A=lw`

Substiutitue l=1.25 and w=1.5 in the formula.

`A=1.25*1.5`

`A=1.875ft^2`

Multiply the equation by 2.

`2A=2*1.875ft^2`

`2A=3.75ft^2`

Final answer:

Rahul can save 3.75 square feet of aluminum per pole.
