To find the surface area of a cube, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Surface Area} = 6 \cdot s^2
\]
where \( s \) is the length of an edge of the cube.
Given that the edge measures 5 inches, you can substitute this value into the formula:
\[
\text{Surface Area} = 6 \cdot (5 \, \text{in})^2
\]
Calculating \( (5 \, \text{in})^2 \):
\[
(5 \, \text{in})^2 = 25 \, \text{in}^2
\]
Now substitute it back into the surface area formula:
\[
\text{Surface Area} = 6 \cdot 25 \, \text{in}^2 = 150 \, \text{in}^2
\]
Thus, the surface area of the cube is:
\[
150 \, \text{in}^2
\]
The correct response is **150 in²**.
