To find the surface area of a cube, we use the formula:
\[
\text{Surface Area} = 6s^2
\]
where \( s \) is the length of a side of the cube. In this case, the side length of the cube is 1.5 meters.
Now, we can calculate:
\[
s^2 = (1.5)^2 = 2.25
\]
Then, we multiply by 6 to find the total surface area:
\[
\text{Surface Area} = 6 \times 2.25 = 13.5 \, \text{square meters}
\]
Thus, the surface area of the cube is **13.5 square meters**.
\[
