Answer: 144 square feet

Explanation: It says that the square has sides that are 4 inches long, which means that all of the sides are 4 inches long. If two inches is 12 feet, then all you have to do is multiply it by 2, since the sides are 4 inches. That means that all sides are 24 ft long. Now just calculate the area by multiplying the length and the width to get 144 square feet.
