Answer: 36 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Area of a rectangular poster =  504 square centimeters.

The width of the poster is 14 centimeters.

We know that area of rectangle :-

[tex]\text{Area= length x width }[/tex]

Let l be the length of the poster .

Substitute the above values into this , we get

[tex]504=\text{l}\times 14[/tex]

i.e. [tex]504=14\text{l}[/tex]

Divide both sides bby 14 , we get

[tex]l=36[/tex]

Hence, the length of the poster = 36 centimeters.
