Answer:

90 x 125

Step-by-step explanation:

22500÷2 = 11250

factors of 11250 = {1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 15, 18, 25, 30, 45, 50, 75, 90, 125, 150, 225, 250, 375, 450, 625, 750, 1125, 1250, 1875, 2250, 3750, 5625, 11250} (this took me long to type and calculate lol)

well we want the factors as close as possible to minimize the perimeter. In this case, it is 90 and 125. therefore the dimenstions are 90 x 125
