Answer:

13 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

It may be easier to use a diagram but I am going to try my best to explain without one.

Picture their journey north as one side of a right angle triangle (a). Now picture their journey west as another side (b).

The shortest journey back is the hypotenuse of the triangle (c).

Using pythagoras you can work out the answer

a^{2} + b^{2}  = c^{2}

5^{2} + 12^{2}  = c^{2}\\25 + 144 = c^{2} \\\\169 = c^{2}\\\sqrt{169}  = c^{2}  \\13 = c^{2}

The Surface area of the cube will be 433.5 square feet.  Then the correct option is C.

<h3>What is a surface area of a cube?</h3>

Suppose that: The side length of the considered cube is L units. Then, we get:

Surface area of that cube = 6L² square units.

Bella is wrapping a cube shape box that measures 8.5 inches along each side.

The edge length of the cube is 8.5 meters.

Then the Surface area of the cube will be

Surface area = 6 x 8.5²

Surface area = 6 x 72.25

Surface area = 433.5 square feet

The Surface area of the cube will be 433.5 square feet.

Then the correct option is C.

More about the surface area of the cube link is given below.
