Final answer:

After Fin adds one more box to the original 112 cm tall tower, the tower becomes 128 cm tall, as each box is 16 cm in height.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves calculating the new height of a tower made by stacking identical cube-shaped boxes. Originally, there are 7 boxes making the tower 112 cm tall. To find the height of each individual box, we divide the total height of the tower by the number of boxes:

Height of each box = Total height of tower / Number of boxes

Height of each box = 112 cm / 7

Height of each box = 16 cm

When Fin adds 1 more box, we will add that box's height to the original tower's height:

New height of tower = Original height + Height of one box

New height of tower = 112 cm + 16 cm

New height of tower = 128 cm

Therefore, after Fin adds one more box to the tower, it is now 128 cm tall.
