Area of top side = 50x35 = 1750 cm2.
Area of bottom side = 50x35 = 1750 cm2.
Area of front side = 50x5 = 250 cm2.
Area of back side = 50x5 = 250 cm2.
Area of left side = 35x5 = 175 cm2.
Area of right side = 35x35 = 175 cm2.

Surface area = 1750+1750+250+250+175+175 = 4350 cm2

Area of wrapping paper 75 x 60 = 4500 cm2

Yes, there is enough wrapping paper to wrap the present.
