To find the total surface area of a shape, we need more context about the shape itself. The given dimensions could potentially describe a 3D figure with a flat base, but without knowing the shape (e.g., a prism, pyramid, etc.), we cannot determine the surface area accurately.

Assuming the dimensions represent a rectangular prism (a box), the surface area can be calculated using the formula:

\[ \text{Surface Area} = 2(lw + lh + wh) \]

where \( l \) is the length, \( w \) is the width, and \( h \) is the height.

However, the dimensions you provided do not clarify how they relate to a specific geometric figure.

If you could clarify whether this shape is a prism and how the dimensions correspond to width, length, and height, I would be able to help calculate the total surface area.
