Answer:

Each base: 12 ft^2

Surface Area: 48 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming it is a triangular prisim made of equilateral triangles, I would assume the formula would be 4 times the area of one triangular base, following the formula:


a = (1)/(2) bh \\ a = (1)/(2) (6)(4) \\ a = 12 \\ 4 * 12 = 48
