To find the volume of the square prism using the formula \( V = s^2 h \), we need to substitute the given values for \( s \) and \( h \) into the formula.

Given:

  • \( s = 4 \)
  • \( h = 6 \)

Now, calculate \( V \):

  1. First, find \( s^2 \): \[ s^2 = 4^2 = 16 \]

  2. Now, substitute \( s^2 \) and \( h \) into the volume formula: \[ V = s^2 h = 16 \cdot 6 = 96 \]

Thus, the volume of the square prism is \( 96 \) cubic centimeters.

The correct response is: 96 cubic centimeters.
