The formula for finding the volume of a square prism is s2h where s is the length of each side of the square base and h is the height of the prism evaluate to find the value givin values of s=4 and h=6

1 answer

To find the volume of a square prism given the values \( s = 4 \) and \( h = 6 \), you can use the formula for the volume of a square prism, which is \( V = s^2 \cdot h \).

Plugging the values into the formula gives:

\( V = 4^2 \cdot 6 \)

So you first need to calculate the square of the side length \( s \), which is \( 4^2 \):

\( 4^2 = 4 \cdot 4 = 16 \)

Then multiply that result by the height \( h \):

\( V = 16 \cdot 6 \)

\( V = 96 \)

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