The area of a figure is the amount of space the figure occupies

The surface area of the figure is 34.8 square meters

<h3>How to determine the area of the shape</h3>

From the question, we have:

So, the area of the figure is:

Area = 2 * Area of square + Area of parallelogram

This gives

$Area = 2 * (3m * 3m) + 2.8m * 6m$

Evaluate the products

$Area = 18m^2 + 16.8m^2$

Evaluate the sum

$Area = 34.8m^2$

Hence, the surface area of the figure is 34.8 square meters
