To find the volume of the square prism using the formula \( V = s^2 h \), where \( s \) is the length of each side of the square base and \( h \) is the height of the prism, we can substitute the given values \( s = 4 \) cm and \( h = 6 \) cm.

1. Calculate \( s^2 \):
\[
s^2 = 4^2 = 16 \text{ cm}^2
\]

2. Now, multiply \( s^2 \) by \( h \):
\[
V = s^2 h = 16 \text{ cm}^2 \times 6 \text{ cm} = 96 \text{ cm}^3
\]

So, the volume of the square prism is **96 cubic centimeters**.
