A Little League team is building a backstop for its practice field. It is made up of two right angles as shown below. The backstop extends 24 feet 8 inches out in each direction and the center pole is 6.5 yards high. All sides of the backstop including base and the center pole are to be made of aluminum tubing. How many feet of tubing should the team buy? How many square feet of the backstop must be covered by a screen?

You need 157' 2" of tubing and 962 sq ft of screen.
For the tubing, you have 6.5 yd (19.5 ft) at the center and another 6.5 yd at each end. That's 19.5 ft X 3.
Then each side is 24' 8", and there's a top and a bottom on each, so that's 24' 8" X 4
Each side is a rectangle - 19.5' by 24' 8" or 481 sq ft.
