Answer:

The correct answer is first option. 204 m²

Explanation:

Formula:-

Lateral surface area of square pyramid = 4 * area of triangle

To find the slant height of triangle(l)

l = √(6² + 6²) = 6√2

To find the area of triangle

Area = bh/2

b = 12 m

h = 6√2

Area = (12 * 6√2)/2 = 36√2

To find the lateral surface area of Prism

Lateral surface area of square pyramid = 4 * area of triangle

= 36√2 * 4 = 203.64 ≈ 204 m²
