Marla is painting the tops of some cube-shaped boxes. Each side of the box measures 2.5

feet long. How much paint, in square feet, does Jessica need to cover the top of one box?
(Hint: The formula for the area of a square is A = s^2.)

A cube has 6 faces, and since it is a cube, all of them are the same. To find the area, we square the side of the square. A = 2.5^2 = 6.25 sq ft. Hope this helps.
