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.
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.
[tex]A=lw[/tex]
Substiutitue l=1.25 and w=1.5 in the formula.
[tex]A=1.25\times1.5[/tex]
[tex]A=1.875ft^2[/tex]
Multiply the equation by 2.
[tex]2A=2\times1.875ft^2[/tex]
[tex]2A=3.75ft^2[/tex]
Final answer:
Rahul can save 3.75 square feet of aluminum per pole.
