Answer:

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
