A cube with a side length of 1 cm is placed in layers as shown in the figure. When it is overlapped to 5 layers, how many square centimeters is the surface area of the solid figure?

A cube with a side length of 1 cm is placed in layers as shown in the figure. When it is overlapped to 5 layers, how many square centimeters is the surface area of the solid figure?

This problem should be solved in this way, because all small cubes are connected together, so directly calculate the projection of six faces, and the surface area of each face is the same, overlapping to five layers, the surface area of each face is 15 (1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5), six faces, 15x6 = 90, the answer is 90 square centimeters
