Answer:

See attachment for image

Explanation:

Given


Width = 9


Perimeter = 40

Required

The image that illustrates the patio

The question is incomplete as the possible images are not given. So, I will attach an image that illustrates the scenario.

But first, the length of the patio must be calculated using perimeter formula


Perimeter = 2 *(Length + Width)


40 = 2 *(Length + 9)

Divide both sides by 2


20 = Length + 9

Solve for Length


Length = 20 - 9


Length = 11

This implies that the dimension of the patio is 11 units by 9 units (See attachment)
