#"73.5" ft^2"#

Explanation:

I believe the dimensions should probably be 3 ft 6 in as 3.6 inches would be small for a clothing bin.

A cube has #color(blue)"6 faces" # and each face is a #color(blue)"square"#

The area( A) of the bin is required.

#"Area of a square" ="length" xx" breadth" = l^2#

#"Since length(l) and breadth are equal"#

#rArrA=6xx3.5^2=73.5 ft^2#
