There are 12 such shapes. One can start with two squares, adding squares around the edge and rejecting shapes that have been previously seen. Repeating until you have 5 squares results in 12 distinct shapes.
_____
2 shapes are possible with 3 squares: L, I
5 shapes are possible with 4 squares: L, I, N, T, O
The cross section will be rectangle. You can make a cylinder out of a dough and try to cut it. You will see the cross section is rectangle.
Here are the areas of the 12 rectangular surfaces that make up the surface area of the podium:
7.5 x 1.5 = 11.25 square feet (Bottom)
1.5 x 1.5 x 2 = 4.5 square feet (Right/Left Bottom Sides)
2.5 x 1.5 x 2 = 7.5 square feet (Right/Left Flat)
1.5 x 1.5 x 2 = 4.5 square feet (Right/Left Top Sides)
2.5 x 1.5 x 2 = 7.5 square feet (Top Front/Back)
2.5 x 1.5 = 3.75 square feet (Top)
7.5 x 1.5 x 2 = 22.5 (Bottom Front and Back)
The area of all these surfaces is 61.5 square feet.
