The cube has 6 square 8.5×8.5 sides, or faces:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "1. A front side, or 8.5×8.5=72.5 square inch front side face\r\n" );
document.write( "2. A back side, or 8.5×8.5=72.5 square inch back side face\r\n" );
document.write( "3. A left side, or 8.5×8.5=72.5 square inch left side face\r\n" );
document.write( "4. A right side, 8.5×8.5=72.5 square inch or right side face\r\n" );
document.write( "5. A top side, or 8.5×8.5=72.5 square inch top side face\r\n" );
document.write( "6. A bottom side, or  8.5×8.5=72.5 square inch side face face\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So we multiply 72.5 square inches by 6 and get that 433.5 \r\n" );
document.write( "square inches of wrapping paper would cover the box completely \r\n" );
document.write( "without overlapping.\r\n" );
