Answer: 480 units^2



IN DEPTH EXPLANATION TO HELP YOU FOR FUTURE PROBLEMS:

Front:
b*h/2 = sa
12*5/2 = 30
Front = 30 units^2

Back:
b*h/2 = sa
12*5/2 = 30
Back = 30 units^2

Right:
w*l = sa
14*13 = 182 units^2
Right: 182 units*2
(figures out the length by using
pythagorean theorem)

Left:
w*l = sa
5*14 = 70 units^2
Left: 70 units^2

Bottom:
w*l = sa
12*14 = 168 units^2

ADD ALL THE UNITS:
168 + 70 + 182 + 30 + 30 = 480
