The result is always divisible by 3.
Start the line at 3 on the y-axis (vertical). then go down two boxes and to the right three & make a mark at that point. keep going down two and over three until the end of the graph. then just connect the marks.
First of all, you have to find the area of both triangles:


Or just 16 because there are 2 of the same triangles.
Now you have to find the area of the 3 rectangles.
The two that are in the front are 4*3 (l*h) or 12*2 (because there are 2 congruent rectangles. The area of those rectangles is 24 square mm.
Now you find the area of the back rectangle:
5.7*3 = 17.1
Finally, you add all the found numbers to figure out the surface area.
17.1 + 16 + 24 = 57.1 square millimeters.
Hope this helped,
