Solution
Solution Steps
To find the area of the figure, we need to identify the shape and use the appropriate formula. Since the problem does not specify the shape, let's assume it is a square with a side length of 16 inches. The area of a square is given by the formula \( A = \text{side}^2 \).
Step 1: Identify the Shape
The figure is assumed to be a square with a side length of \( 16 \) inches.
Step 2: Apply the Area Formula
The area \( A \) of a square is calculated using the formula:
\[
A = \text{side}^2
\]
Substituting the given side length:
\[
A = 16^2
\]
Step 3: Calculate the Area
Calculating the area:
\[
A = 256 \text{ square inches}
\]
Final Answer
The area of the square is \(\boxed{256}\) square inches.
