<p>The volume of a square prism is determined by multiplying the area of the<a>base</a>by the height of the prism. It is calculated using the formula: \([ \text{Volume} = \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height} = s^2 \times h ] \)where s is the side length of the square base, and h is the height of the prism.</p>
