How many square feet of paper do you need to cover a cube with a side 10in. long? round your answer to two decimal places

All 6 sides of a cube are squares and and all of these squares are of exactly the same size.  Thus, find the area of a square of side 10 inches and then multiply your result by 6.

(10 in)^2 = 100 in^2; 6 times this is 600 in^2.

Convert this to square feet by mult. it by (1 ft^2 / 144 in^2):

(600 in^2)(1 ft^2) / (144 in^2) = (600/144) ft^2.  Reduce 600/144 to lowest terms.
