Answer 1

Answer: 36 centimeters.

Explanation:

Given : Area of a rectangular poster = 504 square centimeters.

The width of the poster is 14 centimeters.

We know that area of rectangle :-

`\text{Area= length x width }`

Let l be the length of the poster .

Substitute the above values into this , we get

`504=\text{l}* 14`

i.e.
`504=14\text{l}`

Divide both sides bby 14 , we get

`l=36`

Hence, the length of the poster = 36 centimeters.
