Final answer:

The height of the bookmark is 15 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the height of the bookmark, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle which is length times width.

In this case, the area is given as 45 square centimeters and the width is 3 centimeters.

Let's use the variable 'h' to represent the height. So, we have the equation:

3h = 45

To solve for 'h', we can divide both sides of the equation by 3:

h = 15

Therefore, the bookmark is 15 centimeters tall.
