To find the volume of a 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 in the values into the volume formula: \[ V = 16 \times 6 \]

  3. Calculate the volume: \[ V = 96 \]

Thus, the volume of the square prism is \( \text{96 cubic units} \).
