Answer:

S.A. = 297 mm²

Explanation:

We have a square in the base and four triangles on the lateral surface.

The formula of an area of a square:


A_(\square)=s^2

s - side

We have s = 9mm. Susbtitute:


A_(\square)=9^2=81\ mm^2

The formula of an area of a triangle:


A_(\triangle)=(bh)/(2)

b - base

h - height

We have b = 9 mm and h = 12 mm. Substitute:


A_(\triangle)=((9)(12))/(2)=54\ mm^2

The Surface Area:


S.A.=A_(\square)+4A_(\triangle)

Substitute:


S.A.=81+4(54)=297\ mm^2
