860.55 mm

Explanation:

The surface area of an hexagonal prism, also known as an octahedron, is given by the following formula (since we have the apothem):

S= 6*b*(a+h)

where b = is the side of the base, a is the apothem length, and h = the height

S = 6 * 8 * (4√3 + 11) = 48 * 17.92812 = 860.55 sq mm

Could have also have used another formula without the apothem:

S =3 * √3 * b² + 6 * b * h

S = 3 * √3 * 8² + 6 * 8 * 11 = 3√3 * 64 + 528 = 332.55  + 528 = 860.55 sq mm
