To find the surface area of the Rubik's cube, we need to calculate the area of each individual face and then add them together.
Since each side of the Rubik's cube is made up of 3x3 smaller cubes, there are a total of 9 squares on each face.
Therefore, the surface area of each face is 9 squares x 1 square inch = 9 square inches.
Since there are 6 faces on a Rubik's cube, the total surface area is 6 x 9 square inches = 54 square inches.
Hence, the correct answer is:
54 in.2
54 in. squared
