We know,

Z = I/Y [where, y=y(max)].
But, I = db^3/12.
y = b/2.

Now, Z = 2db^3/12d,
= db^2/6 [A/C to question d=h],
Z = hb^2/6.

Section modulus = I/y(max).

Here the load is parallel to the width b so,
I = (b^3*h)/12.

And y = b/2.

Then z = (b^2*h)/6.

Z = I/Y(max.) I = bd^3/12 ;

y(max.) = d/2 load is parallel to side b then b=h and d=b ;

Z = hb^3/12/b/2 ;

Z = hb^2/6.

Section modulus is a geometric property for a given cross-section used in the design of beams or flexural members.

Section modulus = I/Ymax.

Here I = h*b^3/12.

And Ymax = b/2, then section modulus= (h*b^3/12)/(b/2) = h*b^2/6.

Please explain that what is y and how y = b/2?
And how calculation is z = {(h*b^3/12)/(b/2).

Section modules (z) =I/Y.

MOMENT OF INERTIA (I) =B^3h/12.

Y = b/2.

Therefore = Z = I/Y = B^2h/6.

We are using different methods but same concept. So your process is correct no comment.

And y = b/2.

Then z = (b^2*h)/6.

It says parallel to the plan b, that means.

I = bh^3/12.
y = b/2,
Hence Z= b^2h/6.
