Technical Documentation of FOIL Multiplication

In a technical report for a precision manufacturing project, you are tasked with documenting the calculation used to determine the surface area of a component with dimensions (2+3)(2 + \sqrt{3}) mm and (43)(4 - \sqrt{3}) mm. Write a brief technical note explaining how to apply the FOIL (First, Outer, Inner, Last) method to multiply these two binomials. In your response, you must explicitly state the result of each of the four individual products (First, Outer, Inner, and Last) as they appear before any terms are combined or simplified.
