To find the total surface area of the storage bin, we need to calculate the surface area of each face and then add them all together.
The storage bin is a rectangular prism with dimensions: length = 5 cm, width = 5 cm, height = 5 cm.
The surface area of the rectangular prism can be calculated using the formula:
Surface area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Plugging in the values:
Surface area = 2(5)(5) + 2(5)(5) + 2(5)(5)
Surface area = 50 + 50 + 50
Surface area = 150 cm^2
Therefore, the total surface area of the storage bin is 150 cm^2.
