Answer 1

967.80 square centimeters is needed

Explanation:

Given

Shape: Cube

`Length = 5\ in`

Required

Determine the surface area of the wrapper

To do this, we simply calculate the surface area of the cube.

`Area = 6L^2`

`Area = 6*5^2`

`Area = 6*25`

`Area = 150\ in^2`

Convert to square centimeters

`Area = 150 * 6.452cm^2`

`Area = 967.80\ cm^2`

967.80 square centimeters is needed
