To find the volume of a square prism, you can use the formula:

\[ V = s^2 \cdot h \]

where \( s \) is the length of each side of the square base and \( h \) is the height of the prism.

Given:

  • \( s = 4 \) cm
  • \( h = 6 \) cm

Now, plug the values into the formula:

\[ V = 4^2 \cdot 6 \] \[ V = 16 \cdot 6 \] \[ V = 96 \text{ cubic centimeters} \]

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