Surface area of a rectangular pyramid = 2lw + l√((w/2)^2 + h^2) + w√((l/2)^2 + h^2)

Surface area = 2(13)(11) + 13√((11/2)^2 + 8^2) + 11√((13/2)^2 + 8^2)

Surface area = 286 + 13√(30.25 + 64) + 11√(42.25 + 64)

Surface area = 286 + 13√(94.25) + 11√(106.25)

Surface area = 286 + 13(9.71) + 11(10.31)

Surface area = 286 + 126.23 + 113.41

Surface area ≈ 525.64 cm²

Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular pyramid is approximately 525.64 cm².
