From the question: The expression in bracket is: 
So, the first step is to subtract 
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
The total surface area simply consists of three rectangles and two triangles. To find the total surface of the figure, find the sum of each of the shapes that make up the outside of the figure:
2 triangles: 2 x 1/2 x 6 x 8 = 48 ft^2
First rectangle: 6 x 12 = 72 ft^2
Second rectangle: 8 x 12 = 96 ft^2
Third rectangle: 10 x 12 = 120 ft^2
*Note: One of the dimensions is in yards, so make sure to convert it to ft (1 yd = 3ft)
Thus, the total surface area of the figure is 48+72+96+120 = 336 ft^2.
65*5 is what you get when you multiply them to get 325
