Answer: 16

Step-by-step explanation: A more simple approach is realizing that the blocks show 8 x tiles and 1 x^2 tile. The 8 x tiles are on either side of the x^2 tile which is 4 x tiles on each side. So as we can see we can multiply each side together. 4x4 = 16. So that is how you get 16 without having to work it out.
