To find the volume of a 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 will substitute the given values.
Given:
- \( s = 4 \)
- \( h = 6 \)
Now, we can calculate the volume:
\[ V = s^2 h = 4^2 \times 6 \]
Calculating \( 4^2 \):
\[ 4^2 = 16 \]
Now substituting back into the formula:
\[ V = 16 \times 6 = 96 \]
The volume of the square prism is 96 cubic centimeters.
