Therefore, the slant height h of the triangle is given by:


\begin{gathered} h^2=4^2+3^2=16+9=25 \\ h=√(25)=5 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the slant height of the pyramid is 5 cm.

The lateral area of the pyramid is given by:


(1)/(2)*6*5*4=60\text{ cm}^2

The base area is given by:


6*6=36\text{ cm}^2

Therefore, the total surface area is given by:


60+36=96\text{ cm}^2

The volume is given by:


(1)/(3)*36*4=48\text{ cm}^3

Therefore, the total area is 96 cm² and

the total volume is 48 cm³
