Answer: 40 inches squared

Labels are in the pictures

Explanation:

To find the surface area, find the area of each side.

Square (base) : side * side = 4*4 = 16

Triangle (sides) : (base * height)/2

Assuming each side is a isosceles triangle, the base 4/2 = 2

(2*6)/2 = 12/2 = 6

Since there are 4 triangles, we can multiply 6 by 4 to get the combined area. We then add the area of the square to get the final result.

6*4 + 16 = 24+16 = 40
