Explanation:

Because there is no information about the length of the cube

Hence, Let a is the length of the cube, we have:

The total surface areas is calculate as:

A = 6
s^(2)

<=> A = 6
a^(2) square inches

The area of the shrink wrap will be used to wrap five game cubes is:

= The area of one cube * 5

= 6
a^(2) *5 = 30
a^(2)

For example, the length of the cube is 3 inches

=> The total surface areas is calculate as:

A = 6
s^(2) = 6*
3^(2) = 54 square inches

The area of the shrink wrap will be used to wrap five game cubes is:

54*5 = 270 square inches

Hope it will find you well.
