I apologize if my response did not meet your expectations. Are you looking for the calculation of the surface area of Nikolai's L-shaped platform with a thickness of 3 inches? Let me know, and I'll be happy to help you with the calculation if needed.

12 inches.

To calculate the surface area of the L-shaped platform, we need to find the area of both rectangles that make up the L-shape and then add them together.

Let's say the length of the longer side of the platform is 6 inches, the width of the longer side is 4 inches, and the width of the shorter side is 3 inches.

The first rectangle has an area of 6 inches * 4 inches = 24 square inches.
The second rectangle has an area of 3 inches * 4 inches = 12 square inches.

Adding both areas together gives us a total surface area of 24 square inches + 12 square inches = 36 square inches.

Therefore, the surface area of the platform is 36 square inches.
