Area is always given in square units. Surface area is just a type of area where you look at the sides of a surface. To see why area is give in square units, look at the square. If you have a square that is 2 inches in every dicrection, you find it area by multiply the height by the length. This is 2ftx2ft. The 2x2 becomes 4 and the ftxft becomes square feet. The idea is similar for any area.

What is the surface erea if the edges of a square are 5.5?
The surface area of the square: 5.5*5.5 = 30.25 square units
If X = 8 units and Y = 11 units, what is the surface area of the right square pyramid shown above?
200
What is the surface area of a pyramid with area of the base 20 slant height 7 and perimeter of the base 30?
It is 125 square units.
What is the surface area of a square pyramid with 15b 12l?
Assuming 15b means the lengths of each side of the square base and 12l means the length of the triangle from the top to the bottom (note that I'm not assuming 12l is the height of the pyramid) the SA (surface area) will be: 15^2 + 15x12x4/2 = 225 + 360 = 585 units squared (whatever your units are)
What is expressed in square units?

What is the surface area of a cube 8x8x8?
You need units, but the answer is 384 square Whatevers. The surface area of one side is 8*8 = 64 square Whatevers. A cube has 6 equal sides. 64*6 = 384.
