What are the units that go with your numbers? Meters? Miles? Whetever?
The base area is 18x18 whatevers.
You need the lateral height h of the four triangular sides, measured from the midpoint of one of the base sides to the apex. You can get that using the Pythagorean theorem.
h^2 = 9^2 + 12^2
h = 15
One Side area = (1/2)bh = (1/2)*12*15 = 90
Add up the five side areas for the total.
