The surface area of the regular pyramid is 770 [tex]m^{2}[/tex]

Option B. 770  [tex]m^{2}[/tex] is the answer.

What is Surface Area ?

The surface area of a pyramid is a measure of the total area that is occupied by all its faces.

We have to find the surface area of the regular pyramid with a base of 6 sides (hexagonal base).

Surface area of pyramid = area of triangles at the lateral sides + area of base (Hexagon)

Surface area of hexagonal base,

[tex]\frac{1}{2}*(Apothem)*(Perimeter) \\= \frac{1}{2}*(6\sqrt{3} )*(72)\\=216\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Surface area of triangular sides = 6 * 1/2 * b *h

                                                       = 3 * 12 *11

                                                       = 396  [tex]m^{2}[/tex]

Now total surface area = 216√3 + 396

                                        = 374.112 + 396

                                        = 770.112

                                        ≈ 770 [tex]m^{2}[/tex]

The surface area of the regular pyramid is 770 [tex]m^{2}[/tex]

Option B.  770 [tex]m^{2}[/tex]
