Answer:
281 ft^2
Explanation:
We need to add each individual 2d shape together to find the surface area
Bottom: 5*12 = 60
Left side and right side: 4*5 = 20, 2 sides so 20*2= 40
Side facing us and side facing away from us: 12*4 = 48, 2 sides so 48*2=96
Top side that is cut by base of triangle: 7*5 = 35
Each triangle face: base = 5 (12-7), height = 5 1/2base * height so each triangle is .5*5*5 = 12.5; 4 triangles so 12.5*4=50
60+40+96+35+50=281
