To find the surface area of a cube, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Surface Area} = 6s^2
\]

where \( s \) is the length of one edge of the cube.

Given that the edge length \( s = 5 \) cm, we can calculate the surface area as follows:

\[
\text{Surface Area} = 6(5)^2 = 6 \times 25 = 150 \text{ cm}^2
\]

Therefore, the surface area of the cube is **150 cm²**.
