Answer:
533 yd^(2)

Explanation:

The surface area of the base is:

(20 x 17.3) / 2

= 346 / 2

= 173

The surface area of one of the three identical triangles is:

(20 x 12) / 2

= 240 / 2

= 120

So in total, your answer would be one base plus three of those identical triangles:

173 + (3 x 120)

=
533 yd^(2)
