    Since the base is a regular quadrilateral, each of its 4 sides must have length

    s = P/4

    s = (60 cm) / 4 = 15 cm

    The area of one lateral face is the product of side length and height.

    A = s*h

    105 cm² = (15 cm) * h

    Then the height of the prism is

    h = (105 cm²) / (15 cm) = 7 cm

    The area of the base is then

    B = s²

    B = (15 cm) ² = 225 cm²

    The volume of the prism is the product of its base area and height.

    V = Bh

    V = (225 cm²) * (7 cm) = 1575 cm³

    The volume is 1575 cm³.
