Length of the long piece = 4 times the length of the short piece

Length of the short piece = 1 times the length of the short piece.

Total length of both pieces = (4 + 1) = 5 times the length of the short piece.

5 times the length of the short piece = 75 inches

The length of the short piece = 75 / 5 = 15 inches

Length of the long piece = 4 times the length of the short piece = 60 inches

Check: 15 + 60 = 75 inches
