Different things have different shapes, so you can't use the same technique on everything. Measure the surface area of a cube is not done the same way as measuring the surface area of a sphere, and measuring the surface area of an irregularly shaped object is another matter entirely. In the simplest case, which is a rectangle, you simply multiply the length by the width. 5 inches x 7 inches = 35 square inches.
