To find the area of the rectangle, we first need to convert all the dimensions to the same unit. Given that the base of the rectangle is 4 feet and the height is 4 inches, and knowing that 1 foot equals 12 inches, we can convert the base from feet to inches:
\[ \text{Base} = 4 \text{ feet} \times 12 \text{ inches/foot} = 48 \text{ inches} \]
Now that both dimensions are in inches, we can calculate the area using the formula for the area of a rectangle:
\[ \text{Area} = \text{Base} \times \text{Height} \]
Plugging in the dimensions:
\[ \text{Area} = 48 \text{ inches} \times 4 \text{ inches} = 192 \text{ square inches} \]
Therefore, the area of the rectangle is \( 192 \ \text{in}^2 \).
The correct answer is \( 192 \ \text{in}^2 \).
