Total sections = 54 sections

Dimension = 45 miles in length

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data

12 sections of 3 miles in length

36 sections of 1 mile in length

5 sections of 5 miles in length

1 section of 36 miles in length

Therefore total number of sections = 12+36+5+1 = 54 sections

Total length = 36+5+1+3 = 45 miles in length
