To find the surface area of a cube, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Surface Area} = 6s^2
\]
where \( s \) is the length of one side of the cube.
In this case, each square on the side of the cube measures 1 inch, and since there are 9 squares on each side, the length of one side of the cube is:
\[
s = 3 \text{ inches} \quad (\text{since } 9 \text{ squares} = 3 \text{ inches, as } 3 \times 3 = 9)
\]
Now, plugging in the side length into the surface area formula gives:
\[
\text{Surface Area} = 6s^2 = 6(3^2) = 6(9) = 54 \text{ square inches}
\]
Thus, the surface area of the cube is **54 square inches**.
