Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a 3 D cuboid with length, width, and height marked as 5 centimeters. The edges that are not visible are marked as dashed lines.
Manny created a storage bin for the family to hold the remote control and cell phone cords. What is the total surface area of the storage bin?

surface area =
cm2
The total surface area of a cuboid can be calculated by finding the area of each face and adding them together.
The formula for the total surface area of a cuboid is:
2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Given that the length (l), width (w), and height (h) are all 5 cm:
Substitute these values into the formula:
2(5)(5) + 2(5)(5) + 2(5)(5)
= 50 + 50 + 50
= 150
Therefore, the total surface area of the storage bin is 150 cm^2.
