To find the volume of a square prism, we use the formula:
\[ V = s^2 \cdot h \]
where \( s \) is the length of each side of the square base, and \( h \) is the height of the prism.
Given \( s = 4 \) cm and \( h = 6 \) cm, we can substitute these values into the formula:
-
Calculate \( s^2 \): \[ s^2 = 4^2 = 16 \text{ square centimeters} \]
-
Now multiply by the height \( h \): \[ V = s^2 \cdot h = 16 \cdot 6 = 96 \text{ cubic centimeters} \]
Thus, the volume of the square prism is 96 cubic centimeters.
