I’m missing the picture, but a common interpretation is a square pyramid with base side 6 m and slant height 3 m (the 3 m is the height of each triangular face). If that’s what you mean:
- Base area = 6^2 = 36 m^2
- Lateral area = 4 × (1/2 × base side × slant height) = 4 × (1/2 × 6 × 3) = 4 × 9 = 36 m^2
- Total surface area = 36 + 36 = 72 m^2
So SA = 72 m^2.
If the numbers label something else (for example 3 m is the vertical height or 3 m is the base side), tell me which measurement is which (or upload the diagram) and I’ll recompute.
