To find the actual length of the window, we need to convert the scale from centimeters to meters.

The scale given is 1cm to 2m, which means that 1 centimeter on the plan represents 2 meters in real life.

Given that the length of the window on the plan is 2.5cm, we can set up the following proportion:

1cm : 2m = 2.5cm : x-m

To solve for x (the actual length of the window), we cross-multiply and solve for x:

1cm * x-m = 2m * 2.5cm

x-m = 5m

Therefore, the actual length of the window is 5 meters.
