Given, a net for a triangular pyramid.

The triangular pyramid consists of 4 equilateral triangle

As shown, the base of one triangle = 6 cm

The height of one triangle = 5.2 cm

The area of one triangle =


(1)/(2)\cdot6\cdot5.2=15.6\operatorname{cm}^2

So, the surface area = 4 times the area of one triangle


=4\cdot15.6=62.4\operatorname{cm}^2

so, the answer will be Surface area = 62.4 square cm.
