Answer: 21m

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the scale drawing of a playground is 4 cm wide and 6 cm long and that the playground is 14 m wide.

Let the length of the playground be represented by x. Therefore,

4/6 = 14/x

4 × x = 14 × 6

4x = 84

x = 84/4

x = 21

Therefore, the length is 21m
