There will be three pairs of matching sides: one pair 5x7, one pair 5x12 and one pair 12x7. We can compute the are of each side (in pairs) and then add up the total:


A_(surf)=2*(l * w)+2*(l * h)+2*(h * w)

A_(surf)=2*(5*7)+2*(5*12)+2*(12*7)

A_(surf)=2*35+2*60+2*84

A_(surf)=70+120+168

A_(surf)=358

A_(surf)=358m^(2)
