In a regular pyramid with top point T T and equilateral base ABC ABC, let P P, Q Q, R R, S S be the midpoints of [AB] \left[AB\right], [BC] \left[BC\right], [CT] \left[CT\right] and [TA] \left[TA\right], respectively. If \left|AB\right| \equal{} 6 and the altitude of pyramid is equal to 215 2\sqrt {15}, then area of PQRS PQRS will be
