If you notice, the figure has two hexagonal faces and 6 rectangles.
now the rectangles are just 4x9 each, so their area is just 6(4*9) for all 6.
the hexagons has a distance from the center perpendicular to a side of 7.8, namely the apothem is 7.8, and since each side is 9 km long, the perimeter is 9+9+9+9+9+9.
since the area of a regular polygon is (1/2)(apothem)(perimeter), we can simply get the area of those two hexagons and the area of the rectangles, sum them up, and that's the surface area of the hexagonal prism.
