To clarify, you have a cube and want to calculate the surface area based on the information provided regarding the squares.
A standard cube has 6 faces, and each face is a square. If you mention a total of 9 squares, it appears you might be referencing an arrangement of squares on a single face, but for a cube, we focus on the face measurement.
Assuming the cube has sides measuring 1 inch, the area of each square face is:
\[
\text{Area of one face} = \text{side}^2 = 1 \, \text{inch} \times 1 \, \text{inch} = 1 \, \text{square inch}
\]
Since a cube has 6 faces, the total surface area \( A \) of the cube would be:
\[
A = 6 \times \text{Area of one face} = 6 \times 1 \, \text{square inch} = 6 \, \text{square inches}
\]
If the total of 9 squares refers to something else, please clarify. But based on the assumption of a cube with sides measuring 1 inch, the total surface area is **6 square inches**.
