Answer:

It is B. (36√5 + 36) ft^2.

Explanation:

Total area = area of the base + 4 * area of the triangular side.

The slant height of a triangular side = √(6^2 + 3^2)

= √45

= 3√5

The area of this side = 3 * 3 √5

= 9√5.

Therefore the total area of the pyramid

= 6^2 + 4*9√5

= (36 + 36√5) ft^2.
