The surface area of a cuboid is not sufficient to determine its dimensions.
It could be a cube with sides of sqrt(50/3) = 4.082 cm,
or a cuboid of 4 cm x 4 cm x 4.25 cm
or 3 cm x 4 cm x 5.4286 cm
or any one of infinitely more possibilities.

It does. But 100 cm squared - ie a square with each side of 100 cm has an area of (100 cm)2 = 100 cm * 100 cm, which is 10,000 square cm. This is quite a common confusion caused by the use of measures of area in the form cm squared and square cm. Incidentally, this has absolutely nothing to do with metric or Imperial measures.
Centimetres squared is a measure of area. Metres cubed is a measure of volume. If one has X centimetres squared as the area of the base of an object, and the object has a height of Y centimetres then the volume of the object is XY centimetres cubed. 1 metre contains 100 centimetres. 1 metre squared contains 100 x 100 = 10,000 centimetres squared 1 metre cubed contains 100 x 100 x 100 = 1,000,000 centimetres cubed
100 of anything squared is 10,000 whatever-it-ises.
102 or 100
If you mean (2 times 5) squared then it is 100
