To find the surface area of a rectangular base pyramid, we need to calculate both the area of the base and the area of the triangular sides (lateral surface area).
1. **Area of the Base:**
The base is rectangular. Given the base dimensions as 600 ft (we will assume as the length) and a width that fits within the information given (let's denote it as W). Since we don’t have a second dimension provided directly, we might assume it should either be inferred or could be related to the slant height or the triangle dimensions.
But generally for a rectangular base, the area \( A_{base} \) is:
\[
A_{base} = \text{length} \times \text{width}
\]
Without loss of generality, this doesn’t lead to a specific resolution without knowing the width.
2. **Area of the Triangular Sides (Lateral Surface Area):**
The lateral surface area comprises four triangular faces. The area of a single triangle can be calculated as:
\[
A_{triangle} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]
where the height is the slant height of the triangle.
There are two triangles with base dimensions of either \( 600 \) ft or \( 756 \) ft. We can presume two different orientations, which would require values to determine side triangles and the parameters to apply the slant heights given.
3. **Using the Slant Heights:**
- For two triangles with a base of 600 ft, with slant heights given, would give us:
\[
A_{triangle1} = \frac{1}{2} \times 600 \times 545 = 163500 \text{ ft}^2
\]
- Using the second triangle side with the base as 756 ft and slant height of 591.5 ft:
\[
A_{triangle2} = \frac{1}{2} \times 756 \times 591.5 = 223404.82 \text{ ft}^2
\]
Then we add the triangles together, each type dual counts:
\[
A_{lateral} = 2 \times (A_{triangle1}) + 2 \times (A_{triangle2})
\]
4. **Total Surface Area:**
\[
A_{total} = A_{base} + A_{lateral}
\]
Given our trials with dimension weighing, the assumed width to resolve will shape the final sum. Sitewise, if the calculations lead to scrutinizing actual options or relating given responses.
Until the missing dimension is accounted, without explicit definitions of 'width' for the area computation on how they fit together, the final totals aren’t directly resolvable without assumptions. However, factoring through sums or checking values responding might help triangulate among the listed possible options.
Based on common instances and computing with variables as they might closely relate, we would encourage resorting to inputs rounding and evaluating circumference coherence amidst pairwise contour checks with drawn drafts. Thus, it seems without asserting a specific expanse, a user could seek another input directly or offer clarity on dimension roles to invoke rapid computation.
To finalize and respond, we might need:
- A clear width of the base
- Or rely on available measurement for outward dimensions tallying 1,227,774 ft², 206,388,000 ft², 7,398,254 ft², or accurately tagged for checking rounded nominal responses especially engaging with ratios fetched.
