Answer:

[tex]4\frac{1}{2}[/tex] meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

The area of a rectangle is,

[tex]A=l\times w[/tex]

Where,

l = length,

w = width,

Here,

A = [tex]12\frac{3}{8}\text{ square meter}[/tex]

w = [tex]2\frac{3}{4}\text{ meter}[/tex]

By substituting the values,

[tex]12\frac{3}{8}=2\frac{3}{4}\times l[/tex]

[tex]\frac{99}{8}=\frac{11}{4}l[/tex]

[tex]396=88l[/tex]

[tex]\implies l = \frac{396}{88}=4\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Hence, the length of the patio would be [tex]4\frac{1}{2}[/tex] meters.
