Answer:

The resulting cross section is a square an the area is
A=16\ in^(2)

Explanation:

we know that

All the faces of the cube are square with side lengths measuring 4 inches

If the cube was sliced parallel to the base

then

the cross section is a square with side lengths measuring 4 inches

so

The area of a square is


A=b^(2)

we have


b=4\ in

substitute


A=4^(2)


A=16\ in^(2)
