To find the surface area, we must find the area of each shape.

There are four (4) rectangles: their lengths are 5; their widths are 3.

The formula for the area of a rectangle is length times width.

5 times 3 = 15.

Since there are 4 rectangles total, we can multiply 15 by 4.

15 times 4 is 60.

Next, we have two (2) squares.

The dimensions of the square are 3 by 3.

3 times 3 is 9.

Since we have 2 squares, we can multiply the area of 1 square, 9, by 2.

9 times 2 is 18.

So, the areas of the rectangles are 60, and the areas of the squares are 18.

60 + 18 = 78.

So, the final answer is 78.
