Answer 1

To find the area of a square, you use the formula:

\[
\text{Area} = \text{side length} \times \text{side length}
\]

In this case, the side length is \( \sqrt{14} \) units.

Calculating the area:

\[
\text{Area} = \sqrt{14} \times \sqrt{14} = 14 \text{ square units}
\]

So the area of the square is \( 14 \) square units.

The correct answer is:

**C. 14 square units**
