    Step-by-step explanation:

    The given pyramid is a square based pyramid. The formula for determining the total surface area of a square base pyramid is expressed as

    Total surface area = base area + (1/2 * perimeter * slant height)

    Perimeter of base = 4 * 756 = 3024 feet

    Slant height = 612 feet

    Base area = 756² = 571536 feet²

    Total surface area = 571536 + (1/2 * 3024 * 612) = 1496880 feet²

    Total surface area of the pyramid today is

    571536 + (1/2 * 3024 * 592) = 1466640 feet²

    Change in total surface area is

    1496880 - 1466640 = 30240 feet²
