The independent variable is the type of material the balls are made from
The perimeter of the triangular end is 12 m, so the total rectangular area is
.. (12 m)*(8 m) = 96 m^2
There are two triangles with base 3 m and height 4 m, so their total area is
.. (3 m)*(4 m) = 12 m^2
The surface area of the figure is the sum of these
.. 96 m^2 +12 m^2 = 108 m^2
3 multiplied by ten to the second power
