How do you find the surface area of a triangle pyramid?

I need to know this for school. How do you find the surface area of a triangle pyramid with a each base side of 6 inches and a height of 5.2 inches? If you could respond quickly, that would be great! Thanks a bunch!

find the area of the 3 triangular sides, then find the area of the base, which is a rectangle. then add all of the areas together.
