Let the missing width be "w".

The surface area of a rectangular prism can be calculated using the formula:

Surface area = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh

Substituting the given values, we get:

188 = 2(6)(w) + 2(4)(w) + 2(6)(4)

Simplifying:

188 = 12w + 8w + 48

188 = 20w + 48

20w = 140

w = 7

Therefore, the missing width of the rectangular prism is 7 cm.
