Step-by-step solution

To calculate the surface area of a cube, we use the formula:

Surface Area=6a2 \text{Surface Area} = 6a^2

where a a is the length of each edge of the cube.

Given a=3 cm a = 3 \text{ cm} , we substitute this value into the formula:

Surface Area=6×(3)2 \text{Surface Area} = 6 \times (3)^2

=6×9 = 6 \times 9

=54 cm2 = 54 \text{ cm}^2

Therefore, the surface area of the cube is 54 cm2 54 \text{ cm}^2 .

This matches choice 4.

Final Answer

54 54 cm².
