This is really not clear what you mean. First of all a triangle has an AREA, not a SURFACE AREA. Surface area refers to the area of a three dimensional figure.

Also, I'm confused that you have width, length, and height of a triangle. Perhaps you meant to give the three sides of a triangle being 4 m, 2.5 m, and 6.5 m, where the height of the triangle is 6 m. It would also be important to state which sides are the "base" and the "height" since they must be mutually perpendicular.

I'm sorry, I just can't picture this triangle. Perhaps you could clarify and repost it.
