For a regular pyramid, the surface area (SA) is the following:

SA= Area of Base + 1/2 [Perimeter x Side Length]

As you know, the area of the base is the flat part of the pyramid which points the vertical lines to one point: above the center of the base. You need to find the perimeter of the base first, and then find the side length via Pythagorean Theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2). Finally, plug them into the equation above, and you'll have your answer.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
