The surface area of a rectangular prism can be calculated using the formula:
Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Given that the length (l) = 6 cm, height (h) = 4 cm, and surface area = 188 cm^2, we can plug in these values to find the missing width (w).
188 cm^2 = 2(6)(w) + 2(6)(4) + 2(w)(4)
188 cm^2 = 12w + 48 + 8w
188 cm^2 = 20w + 48
140 cm^2 = 20w
w = 7 cm
Therefore, the missing width of the rectangular prism is 7 cm.
What is the missing width of a rectangular prism with a length of 6 cm, a height of 4 cm, and a surface area of 188 cm2
