Answer:

The answer to your problem is, C. 204 m2

Explanation:

The surface area of square pyramid = 4 * area of triangle

We would actually need to find the slant height of triangle(l),

√(6² + 6²) = 6√2 = Length

Formula to find:

A = bh/2 ( B = Base H = Height )

B = 12

H = 6 √2

( [12 × 6√2]/2 = 36√2 )

Equals our area ↑↑

The lateral surface is the surface of a part of the body that faces away from the midline

The lateral surface area of square pyramid = 4 * area of triangle:

36√2 × 4 = 203.64

Since there is no option of 203.64 we will round it to 204

Thus the answer to your problem is, C. 204 m2
