.
Slant height to the base edge of 10 units is   = 17.69 units long.



Slant height to the base edge of 24 units is   = 13.93 units long.



The lateral surface area is   = 511.22 square units.


To get the total surface area of the pyramid, add to it the area of the base  10*24 = 240 square units.
