Answer:

224 inches cubed.

Explanation:

Because the area of a square is 16 square inches, the side length is 4 inches. This is because a square's formula for area is the side squared.

Since the box is 14 inches tall, we multiply 4 inches by 4 inches by 14 inches. This means the answer is 224 inches cubed.

We also notice we don't need a measurement for the base sides, we only need to multiply the area by the height.
