See the calculation below
Step-by-step explanation:
If you look at the pyramid, the pyramid is really just a hexagon with 6 triangles stacked up to each other at the edges, with the hexagon at the bottom.
now, the perpendicular distance from the center of the hexagon to a side, namely the apothem, is 6√3, and each side is 12 units long, since there are 6 of them that'd be 72 for all, namely the perimeter.
each of the triangular faces have a base of 12 and an altitude or height of 11, recall that area of a triangle is (1/2)bh, and area of a regular polygon is (1/2)(apothem)(perimeter).
so if we just get the area of the hexagon at the bottom, and the triangles, sum them up, that's the surface area of the pyramid.
