Answer:
130cm²
Step-by-step explanation
The amount of red appear needed by Marcus to cover his box = Surface Area of the cube - Area of the circle.
Surface area of cube = 6s² (where s is the side length of the cube. s² therefore is S.A of 1 face of the cube)
Given that s = 5cm,
S.A of cube = 6s² = 6*5² = 150cm²
Area of circle = πr²;
Given that π = 3.14, and r = ½ of diameter of circle (i.e. ½ of side length of cube)
Area of circle = 3.14*(½*5)² = 3.14*(2.5)² = 3.14*6.25 =19.625
Amount of red paper needed = S.A of the cube - Area of the circle = 150cm² - 19.625cm² = 130.375cm² = 130cm²
