The total surface area of the storage bin can be calculated by finding the area of each of the six faces and adding them together.
Since the storage bin is a cuboid with dimensions: length = 5 cm, width = 5 cm, height = 5 cm.
The formula for the total surface area of a cuboid is:
Total Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Plugging in the values:
Total Surface Area = 2(5*5) + 2(5*5) + 2(5*5)
Total Surface Area = 2(25) + 2(25) + 2(25)
Total Surface Area = 50 + 50 + 50
Total Surface Area = 150 square centimeters
Therefore, the total surface area of the storage bin is 150 square centimeters.
