Given that the side of the prism is 10 cm.

Then, the TSA of the pyramid is given as


\begin{gathered} TSA=√(3)a^2 \\ where\text{ a is the side of the prism.} \end{gathered}

On putting the values


\begin{gathered} TSA=√(3)*10\text{ sq cm} \\ TSA=10√(3)\text{ sq cm} \end{gathered}

Therefore the required total surface area is 10√3 sq cm.
