Answer:

7.5 cm

Explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is the sum of the length of all its sides.

Perimeter of rectangle= 2(length +breadth)

Given: perimeter= 24 cm, breadth= 4.5 cm

Substitute the given information into the formula:

24= 2(length +4.5)

Divide both sides by 2:

length +4.5= 12

Subtract 4.5 from both sides:

length

= 12 -4.5

= 7.5

Thus, the rectangle is 7.5 cm long.
