- The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2 × (length + breadth).
- We are given the perimeter (P) = 14 cm and breadth (b) = 2 cm.
- Substitute the given values into the formula: 14 = 2 × (length + 2).
- Divide both sides by 2: 14 / 2 = length + 2.
- This simplifies to 7 = length + 2.
- To find the length, subtract 2 from both sides: length = 7 - 2.
- So, the length = 5 cm.
