For 12 regular pentagons of side length 2 cm I got 82.58 sq cm
For the 20 regular hexagons I got 207.85 sq cm.
Add 82.58+207.85=290.43 sq cm

A modern soccer ball does not have an edge length. It is a sphere.
If you need to calculate the area of the sphere formed by 20 hexagons and 12 pentagons given the length of an edge of one of the hexagons, google surface area of icosohedron because the math gets sort of intense (pages and pages).
