【Answer】: 1. The net for the cube is a diagram with six squares, each 10 cm by 10 cm. 2. The surface area of the cube is 600 square centimeters.
【Explanation】: 1. A cube has six faces, and each face is a square. Therefore, the net for the cube should be a diagram with six squares, each 10 cm by 10 cm. 2. The surface area of a cube is calculated by multiplying the area of one face by the number of faces. Since each face is a square with sides of 10 cm, the area of one face is 10 cm * 10 cm = 100 square centimeters. Therefore, the surface area of the cube is 100 square centimeters * 6 = 600 square centimeters.
