Answer:

1536 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the lateral faces, calculate the height of a lateral face first.

The height of a lateral face = S

The blue triangle is right-angled, so we can use Pythagoras Theorem to find S.

[tex] \sqrt{ {h}^{2} + {0.5b}^{2} } [/tex]

[tex] = \sqrt{ {16}^{2} + {12}^{2} } [/tex]

[tex] = \sqrt{400} [/tex]

= 20 m

Total surface area of a pyramid

= total surface area of lateral faces + base area

Area of 1 lateral face

= (base × height) ÷ 2

= (24×20)÷2

= 240 m²

Total surface area of the pyramid

= 240×4 + 24×24

= 1536 m²
