The surface area of a cube can be calculated by finding the area of each face and summing them up. Since all faces of a cube are identical, the surface area can be calculated as the area of one face multiplied by 6.

The area of one face would be 1.5 meters x 1.5 meters = 2.25 square meters.

Therefore, the total surface area of the cube would be 2.25 square meters x 6 faces = 13.5 square meters.

So the correct answer is: 13.5 square meters
