Find the minimum perimeter for a rectangle with an area of 25 square units. You may assume that the dimensions are whole numbers.
Since the only whole numbers that have the product of 25 is 5*5
the rectangle must be a square with each side is 5 units
so to get perimeter we add the 4 sides (5+5+5+5) which would be 20 units
