Answer:

114 km

Explanation:

Each side is an isosceles trapezoid, so ED=2 since you would need to add 2 to each end of the bottom line to get the top line. Now use Pythagorean Theorem to get ED^2+AD^2=AE^2. Plug in your numbers to solve for AE. This is the height of each trapezoid. Then use your formula for the area of a trapezoid, (B1+B2)h/2, to get the area of each side, then multiply by 4 to get the lateral area since there are 4 sides. Remember lateral area is just the sides, then surface area is when you include the area of the two bases.
