Identify the equilibrium price, quantity, consumer and producer surplus and show them on a graph.  The graph should be pretty simple here, the main issue is finding the numbers for consumer and producer surplus.  Again, let me reiterate: I WANT NUMBERS FOR CONSUMER AND PRODUCER SURPLUS! Furthermore, I want you to do this the way that I do.  In other words, calculate it like it's a bunch of rectangles.  Don't do the triangle thing that they do in the videos.  (Notice that I made it so one of them isn't a triangle.)  Also, when doing this keep in mind that the width of these rectangles will not be 1 so be careful.  (What is it....? )

NOTICE: CONSUMER SURPLUS IS NOT A TRIANGLE!

CAN YOU PLEASE DRAW THE GRAPH AS MUCH DETAIL AS YOU CAN PLEASE!
