Using the area of a rectangle, it is found that her patio should have a width of 12 feet and a length of 27 feet.
<h3>What is the area of a rectangle?</h3>
The area of a rectangle of length l and width w is given by:
A = lw.
In this problem:
- She has enough tiles to cover 324 square feet, hence A = 324.
- She wants the length of the patio to be 15 feet longer than the width, hence l = 15 + w.
Thus:
324 = w(15 + w)
w^2 + 15w - 324 = 0
w = -27 or w = 12.
We take the positive value, hence l = 15 + w = 15 + 12 = 27 feet.
The dimensions should be a width of 12 feet and a length of 27 feet.

171 minutes
Explanation:
6 is the initial cost, .08 is the cost per minute and 19.68 is the total, set up an equation that looks like this: (x is the unknown variable)
6+.08x=19.68
19.68-6=13.68
.08x=13.68
.08x/.08=x
13.68/.08=171
x=171
1'200'000 yards because all you have to do is multiply the numbers.
You subtract 13 from both sides, leaving us with:
x = 74 - 13
x = 61. this answer has not been listed, but it is correct.
maybe you made a typo when writing the actual problem down? if not, 61 is the answer.
