The surface area of a box is calculated by adding the areas of all of its six sides.
Given that the box is a cube with all sides measuring 5 cm, the surface area can be calculated as:
2 * (5 cm * 5 cm) + 2 * (5 cm * 5 cm) + 2 * (5 cm * 5 cm)
= 2 * (25 cm^2) + 2 * (25 cm^2) + 2 * (25 cm^2)
= 50 cm^2 + 50 cm^2 + 50 cm^2
= 150 cm^2
Therefore, the surface area of a box that is 5 cm by 5 cm by 5 cm is 150 square centimeters.
