To find the surface area of the Rubik's cube, we need to calculate the area of each face and then sum them up.
Since there are 6 faces on a Rubik's cube, and each face is made up of 9 smaller cubes (3 by 3), the surface area of one face would be 9 square inches.
Therefore, the total surface area of the Rubik's cube would be 6 times the surface area of one face, which equals 6 * 9 = <<6*9=54>>54 square inches.
Thus, the correct answer is 54 in.2 or 54 in. squared.
