I found the missing choices. These are:
w(w – 2) = 48
w(w + 2) = 48
2w(w – 2) = 48
<span>2w(w + 2) = 48
</span>
The mosaic to be formed is rectangular in shape. This is deduced from the use of the terms width and length.

Area of a rectangle = length * width
length is longer than the width by 2, so length = w+2

Area of a rectangle = (w+2) * w

<span>The correct equation is: w(w + 2) = 48</span>
