A new company is starting up and they are creating care packages to be sent to children in high poverty areas. All of the items for the package need to fit inside of one container that does not have a lid. The company has a great team that is designing a container that has a total volume of 2.5 ft^3. For the shape, they are deciding between a rectangular prism with a base dimension of 1 ft x 2 ft and a cylinder with a base area of 2.5 ft^2. The material they have selected to make the packages cost $1.30 per square foot. Which package design will cost the company less to create and by approximately how much? Use π = 3.14
