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?(1 point) cm
To find the missing width of the rectangular prism, we can first calculate the surface area of the rectangular prism using the formula:
Surface Area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh
Given:
Length (l) = 6 cm
Height (h) = 4 cm
Surface Area = 188 cm^2
Plugging in the values:
188 = 2(6w) + 2(6*4) + 2(4w)
188 = 12w + 48 + 8w
188 = 20w + 48
20w = 140
w = 7
Therefore, the missing width of the rectangular prism is 7 cm.
