What we must do is observe that the triangles have the same measurements.
We have then that the surface area is:
A = (4) * (1/2) * (b) * (h)
Where,
b: base of the triangle
h: height of the triangle
Substituting values:
A = (4) * (1/2) * (8) * (6.9)
A = 110.4 cm ^ 2
Answer:
The surface area of the triangular pyramid is:
A = 110.4 cm ^ 2

Each of the triangles making up the sides and base have a base of 8 cm and a height of 6.9 cm. Then the area of the pyramid is that of 4 such triangles.
A = 4×(1/2)×b×h
A = 2×(8 cm)×(6.9 cm)
A = 110.4 cm²

The surface area of the triangular pyramid is 110.4 cm².
