1. The problem asks for the total surface area of two garage doors. 2. The left door has a width of $2.5$ m and a height of $2$ m. 3. The right door has a width of $2$ m and a height of $2$ m. 4. Calculate the area of the left door using the formula for area of a rectangle: $$\text{Area} = \text{width} \times \text{height}$$ 5. For the left door: $$2.5 \times 2 = 5 \text{ m}^2$$ 6. Calculate the area of the right door similarly: $$2 \times 2 = 4 \text{ m}^2$$ 7. Add the two areas to find the total surface area: $$5 + 4 = 9 \text{ m}^2$$ 8. Therefore, the total surface area of the garage doors is $9$ square meters.
