To find the surface area of the Rubik's cube, we need to find the area of each side and sum them up.

Each side of the Rubik's cube is made up of 3 by 3 smaller cubes. So, each side has a dimension of 3 inches by 3 inches, giving us an area of 3 inches * 3 inches = 9 inches^2.

Since the Rubik's cube has 6 sides, we need to multiply the area of each side by 6.

Therefore, the surface area of the Rubik's cube is 9 inches^2 * 6 = 54 inches^2.

So, the correct answer is 54 in.2 or 54 in. squared.

To find the surface area of the suitcase, we need to find the area of each side and sum them up.

The suitcase has six sides: a top, bottom, front, back, and two sides.

The top and bottom of the suitcase have the same dimensions, so their area is 9.5 inches * 16 inches = 152 square inches each.

The front and back of the suitcase have the same dimensions, so their area is 9.5 inches * 22.5 inches = 213.75 square inches each.

The two sides of the suitcase also have the same dimensions, so their area is 16 inches * 22.5 inches = 360 square inches each.

Now, we can sum up the areas of all six sides to find the total surface area of the suitcase:

152 square inches (top) + 152 square inches (bottom) + 213.75 square inches (front) + 213.75 square inches (back) + 360 square inches (side 1) + 360 square inches (side 2) = 1451.5 square inches.

Therefore, the correct answer is 1,451.5 in.2.
