Recall:

Formula for surface area of square pyramid (SA) = [tex]A+\frac{1}{2}Pl[/tex]

Where,

[tex]A=[/tex] area of the base = [tex]s^2=6^2=36[/tex] sq mi

[tex]P=[/tex] perimeter of the base = [tex]4(s)=4*6=24[/tex]  mi

[tex]l=[/tex] slant height = 5 mi

Plug in the values

[tex]SA=36+\frac{1}{2} *24*5[/tex]

[tex]SA=36+60[/tex]

[tex]SA=96[/tex]
