Answer: 4.5cm

Explanation:

From the information given in the question, we are informed that an airport runway measuring 450 m is drawn to a scale of 1 cm represent 100m, then the length in the drawing will be calculated thus:

Let the length be represented by x. Therefore, we'll have:

1/x = 100/450

Cross multiply

(100 × x) = (1 × 450)

100x = 450

x = 450/100

x = 4.5

Therefore, the length in the drawing is 4.5cm
