A pyramid has a parallelogram shaped base and a peak directly above its center. Its base's sides have lengths of 7 7 and 4 4 and the pyramid's height is 6 6. If one of the base's corners has an angle of pi/3π3, what is the pyramid's surface area?

Lateral surface area = 36.961=36.961
Total surface area =61.2097=61.2097

Explanation:

Area of base =24.2487=24.2487

Area of two corresponding slant sides =12.1559=12.1559
Area of other two slant sides =6.3246=6.3246

Lateral surface area =(2*12.1559) + (2*6.3246) = 36.961=(212.1559)+(26.3246)=36.961

Total surface area = lateral surface area + base area
= 36.961 + 24.2487=36.961+24.2487

Total surface area =61.2097=61.2097
