The volume would be with L being the other edge length.
If is supposed to be an integer number of cm, and ,
then <-->
suggests that and .
Then, the cuboid has square faces measuring 5 cm by 5 cm,
with and .
The other faces are rectangular faces with length ,
attached to the perimeter of the suqare faces,
for a lateral area of .
Then, the total surface area of the cuboid is
.

NOTE:
If does not need to be integer different from 1,
then, could have any value,
and there is no way to solve the problem.
