Should be simple, it's a matter of material used,

ask your contractor this

1) If you just do a long rectangular one, how many feet is that? (his answer will be 10 feet)

2) Then ask him if you add in the two legs of the U, how much total material is used? If he still say 2 x 10 feet, tell him he has failed his maths.

For example

30 ft x 2 ft = 60 ft square of material (if super long rectangular table)

If he can come up with 60ft square for the U shape, asked him to show you where all the material fit into, on top of each other??

Why don't you take the mean length? Imagine there is a line in the middle, so the length for the sides will be 9ft (10ft - 1ft (1/2 of the width)) each, the middle piece will be 8ft (10ft - 2ft (1/2 of the width from both sides)). That will be 26ft in total.
