Answered by GPT 3.5
The surface area of a rectangular prism can be calculated using the formula:

Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh

Plugging in the values:
Surface Area = 2(10)(9) + 2(10)(3) + 2(9)(3)
Surface Area = 180 + 60 + 54
Surface Area = 294

Therefore, the surface area of the rectangular prism is 294 square units.

To find the missing width of the rectangular prism, we need to use the surface area formula and plug in the given values:

Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh

Plugging in the values and the known length, height, and total surface area:
188 = 2(w)(6) + 2(4)(6) + 2(w)(4)
188 = 12w + 48 + 8w
188 = 20w + 48
20w = 140
w = 7

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