Let the length of the map be L Cm.

Hence, L = 37.5 Cm

Now, Let the width of the map be B.( Breadth )

Now, we know that perimeter of a rectangle

= 2 ( L + B )

According to the question–

125 = 2 ( L + B )

{ Putting the value of L we get }

Or, 125 = 2 ( 37.5 + B )

Or, 125/2 = 37.5 + B

Or, 62.5 = 37.5 + B

Or, 37.5 + B = 62.5

Or, B = 62.5 – 37.5

Or, B = 25 Cm

Therefore, the Width of the rectangle is 25 Cm.
