Given that each square is 1 inch on the surface area of this 3x3 Rubik's Cube

To find the surface area of a 3x3 Rubik's Cube, we need to determine the surface area of each individual face and then multiply it by 6.

Each face of a 3x3 Rubik's Cube is a 3x3 square, so the surface area of each face is:

Area = side length × side length = 3 inches × 3 inches = 9 square inches

Since there are 6 faces on a Rubik's Cube, we multiply the surface area of each face by 6 to get the total surface area:

Total Surface Area = 6 × 9 square inches = 54 square inches
