The given Rubik's cube consists of 6 sides, each with dimensions of 3 inches by 3 inches. Therefore, the surface area of the Rubik's cube can be calculated as:

Surface area = 6 * (3 in * 3 in)
Surface area = 6 * (9 in²)
Surface area = 54 in²

Therefore, the surface area of the Rubik's cube is 54 in².

The correct answer is:

54 in.²
