Step-by-step explanation:
I think the photo contains full information of your question
My answer is;
The total area is the sum of the small rectangles areas, loọk at my photo, we have 5 rectangles. The area of rectangles 1, 2, 3 are equal (group 1) and the area of squares 4,5 (group 2) are equal. So:
The total area of group 1 = 3 (8*2) = 3*16 = 48
The total area of group 2 = 2 (2*2) = 2*4 = 8
=> The total area of the letter S = 48 + 8 = 56
