I really need help !!!
Which information is missing but is needed to solve this problem? 
 
Jason's mom used 72 square tiles to cover her patio. The patio is rectangular. What is the width of the patio?



 
A.
the perimeter of the patio


 
B.
the area of one square tile and the length of the patio


 
C.
the thickness of the tiles


 
D.

Respuesta :

Let's do this using the process of elimination. Since you didn't include choice D, we can only use A, B, and C.
     C: If we're finding the width of the patio, how is the thickness of the tiles going to help? C is wrong.
     A: We already know the area (72), so how does knowing the perimeter help us? All we know using that information is that 2 pairs of numbers give us the perimeter & also multiply to get 72. But not which 2. A is wrong.
     B: Pay more attention to the last part of B... "the length". Well, if we have the area (72), and we have the length, then we can do area/length-width to find the width. B is correct!

I think it's A, so it can be calculated how many tiles is needed to cover the whole patio.
