To find the volume of the square prism using the formula \( V = s^2 h \), we substitute the given values \( s = 4 \) and \( h = 6 \):

  1. Calculate \( s^2 \): \[ s^2 = 4^2 = 16 \]

  2. Now, multiply \( s^2 \) by \( h \): \[ V = 16 \cdot 6 = 96 \]

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