Answer 1

To evaluate the volume of the 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, we can substitute the given values \( s = 4 \) and \( h = 6 \).

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

2. Now, plug this value into the volume formula:
\[
V = s^2 h = 16 \times 6
\]

3. Perform the multiplication:
\[
V = 96
\]

Thus, the volume of the square prism is **96 cubic centimeters**.
