Let x = the total cost of gas, dollars.

Originally, each of the three friends was to pay x/3 dollars each.
Finally, with two more friends added, the cost became x/5 dollars each.

The savings for each of the original three friends is $11, therefore
x/3 - x/5 = 11
(2x)/15 = 11
x = (11*15)/2 = $82.50

Answer: The total cost of gas is $82.50

You have 2 triangles and 3 rectangles. 
Start with a triangle:
area is base side * height / 2 ->  4 * 3 / 2 = 6
The other triangle has the same area: 6

First rectangle: side * other side -> 7 * 5 = 35
Second rectangle: 7 * 4 = 28
Third rectangle: 7 * 3 = 21

Now simply add all this together: 6+6+35+28+21 = 96
