Answer:

113.57 square units

Explanation:

The area of each of the 6 triangular faces is ...

A = 1/2bh

A = (1/2)(4)(6) = 12 . . . . square units

The area of the base is ...

A = (3√3)/2·s² . . . . . . for side length s

A = (3√3)/2×4² = 24√3 . . . . square units

Then the total area is ...

total area = base area + face area

= 24√3 + 6(12) = 24(3 +√3) ≈ 113.57 . . . square units
