To find the surface area of the Rubik's cube, we need to find the area of each face and then add them up.
Since each face of the Rubik's cube is a square made up of 3 by 3 smaller cubes, we can find the area of each face by multiplying the length of one side of the square by itself (3 in this case).
Area of one face = (3 in) * (3 in) = 9 in^2
Since there are 6 faces on a cube, we can find the total surface area by multiplying the area of one face by 6.
Total surface area = (9 in^2) * 6 = 54 in^2
So the correct answer is 54 in^2.
