Answer: Length = 642 cm

Concept:

Here, we need to know the idea of how to find the area of a rectangle.

Area (rectangle) = l × w

l = length

w = width

Solve:

Given information

A = 24396 cm²

w = 38 cm

Given expression

A = l × w

Substitute values into the expression

24396 = l × (38)

Divide both sides by 38

24396 / 38 = l × 38 / 38


\boxed{l=642}

Hope this helps!! :)
