To find the volume of the square prism using the formula \( V = s^2 h \), we need to plug in the values for \( s \) and \( h \).
Given:
- \( s = 4 \)
- \( h = 6 \)
Now, calculate \( V \):
\[ V = s^2 \cdot h = 4^2 \cdot 6 \]
First, calculate \( 4^2 \):
\[ 4^2 = 16 \]
Now, multiply by the height \( h \):
\[ V = 16 \cdot 6 = 96 \]
So the volume of the square prism is 96 cubic centimeters.
