To find the volume of a square prism, you can use the formula:

\[ V = s^2 \cdot h \]

Given the values:

  • \( s = 4 \) (the length of each side of the square base)
  • \( h = 6 \) (the height of the prism)

Now, you can calculate:

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

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

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

The correct response is: 96 cubic centimeters.
