A child's toy block is a cube with side lengths of 5cm. What is its total surface area?

  • A. 25 sq cm
  • B. 50 sq cm
  • C. 125 sq cm
  • D. 150 sq cm
Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The surface area of a cube is calculated using the formula: 6 * (side length)^2. Substituting the side length of 5cm into the formula, we get: 6 * (5cm)^2 = 6 * 25cm^2 = 150 sq cm. Therefore, the total surface area of the toy block is 150 sq cm. Choices A (25 sq cm), B (50 sq cm), and C (125 sq cm) are incorrect as they do not correctly calculate the total surface area of the cube.
