12 (length) and 2 (height) ft.

12-8=4, and 4 is twice as large as 2.
Or
2*2=4+8=12

<h3><u>Given </u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

<u>We </u><u>have </u><u>given </u><u>one </u><u>irregular </u><u>figure </u><u>which </u><u>is </u><u>composed </u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>triangle's </u><u>and </u><u>3</u><u> </u><u>rectangles </u>
<u>The </u><u>height </u><u>and </u><u>base </u><u>of </u><u>the </u><u>triangles</u><u> </u><u>is </u><u>6cm </u><u>and </u><u>7</u><u> </u><u>cm</u><u> </u><u>each </u>
<u>The </u><u>length </u><u>and </u><u>breath </u><u>of </u><u>the </u><u>rectangles</u><u> </u><u>is </u><u>1</u><u>3</u><u>.</u><u>1</u><u> </u><u>cm </u><u>and </u><u>7cm </u><u>each </u>

<h3><u>To </u><u>Find </u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

<u>We </u><u>have </u><u>to </u><u>find </u><u>the </u><u>total </u><u>surface </u><u>area </u><u>of </u><u>the </u><u>given </u><u>figure</u><u>? </u>

<h3><u>Let's </u><u>Begin </u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

<u>We </u><u>have</u><u>, </u>

2 triangles of height 6 cm and base 7cm each
3 rectangles of length 13.1 cm and 7cm each

<u>Therefore</u><u> </u><u>,</u>

<u>We </u><u>know </u><u>that</u><u>, </u>

Area of triangle

$\bold{=}{\bold{\pink{\dfrac{1}{2}}}}{\bold{\pink{ × Base × Height }}}$

<u>Subsitute </u><u>the </u><u>required </u><u>values</u><u>, </u>

<u>Area </u><u>of </u><u>1</u><u> </u><u>triangle </u>

$\sf{=}{\sf{\dfrac{1}{2}}}{\sf{ × 7 × 6 }}$

$\sf{ = 7 × 3 }$

$\sf{ = 21 cm²}$

<h3><u>Therefore</u><u>, </u></h3>

<u>Area </u><u>of </u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>triangle's </u>

$\sf{ = 2 × ( Area\:of\:1\:traingle) }$

$\sf{ = 2 × 21 }$

$\sf{ = 42 cm² }$

Thus, The area of 2 triangles is 42 cm²

<h3><u>Now</u><u>, </u></h3>

<u>We </u><u>know </u><u>that</u><u>, </u>

Area of rectangle

$\bold{\red{ = Length × Breath }}$

<u>Subsitute </u><u>the </u><u>required </u><u>values</u><u>, </u>

Area of 1 rectangle

$\sf{ = 13.1 × 7 }$

$\sf{ = 91.7 cm² }$

<h3><u>Therefore</u><u>,</u></h3>

<u>Area </u><u>of </u><u>3</u><u> </u><u>rectangles </u>

$\sf{ = 3 ×( Area\:of\:1\:rectangle) }$

$\sf{ = 3 × 91.7 }$

$\sf{ = 275.1 cm² }$

Thus, The area of 3 rectangle is 275.1 cm²

<h3><u>So</u><u>, </u></h3>

Total area of the given figure

= Area of 2 triangles + Area of 3 rectangles

$\sf{ = 42 + 275.1 }$

$\bold{ = 317.1 cm²}$

Hence, The total surface area of the given figure is 317.1 cm² .
