Question

The formula for finding the volume of a square prism is s2h , where s is the length of each side of the square base and h is the height of the prism. Evaluate to find the volume given values of s = 4 and h = 6 .(1 point) Responses 576 cubic centimeters 576 cubic centimeters 96 cubic centimeters 96 cubic centimeters 144 cubic centimeters 144 cubic centimeters 48 cubic centimeters

Answer 1

To find the volume of the square prism using the formula \( V = s^2 h \), we will substitute the given values of \( s \) and \( h \).

Given:

• \( s = 4 \)
• \( h = 6 \)

Now, substitute these values into the formula:

\[ V = s^2 h = 4^2 \times 6 \]

Calculating \( 4^2 \):

\[ 4^2 = 16 \]

Now multiply by the height \( h \):

\[ V = 16 \times 6 = 96 \]

Therefore, the volume of the square prism is \( 96 \) cubic centimeters.

So the correct response is 96 cubic centimeters.
