The correct answer is: " 784 in² " .
_________________________________________
                  {or; write as: " 784 sq. inches " .}.
_________________________________________
      When the side is doubled (in this case, 4 is doubled; 4 * 2 = 8} ; the area is increased by 2² times; that is, by 4 times; so, the area is:
    (196 sq. in) * 4 =   784 sq inches .
