Each side of the pyramid as a base of 6 inches and height of 15 inches.

The area of a triangle is 1/2 x base x height:

Area = 1/2 x 6 x 15 = 45 square inches.

There are 3 sides: 45 x 3 = 135 square inches.

The base of the pyramid is 1/2 x 6 x 5.2 = 15.6 square inches.

Total surface are including the base = 135 + 15.6 = 150.6 square inches.
