The length of the rectangle is 1/4 m, and its area is 75 cm. Find the perimeter of this rectangle.

Let’s find the width of the given rectangle.

According to the condition of the problem, the length of this rectangle is 1/4 m, and its area is 75 cm2.

Let’s express the length of this rectangle in centimeters.

There are 100 centimeters in one meter, therefore, 1/4 of a meter is equal to 100/4 = 25 centimeters and the length of this rectangle in centimeters is 25 cm.

We can make the following equation:

x * 25 = 75.

Solving this equation, we get:

x = 75/25;

x = 3 cm.

Find the perimeter of this rectangle:

2 * (25 + 3) = 2 * 28 = 56 cm.

Answer: the perimeter of this rectangle is 56 cm.
