Answer:

The rectangular garage is 13m long.

Explanation:

$\sf\large{\star Given:-}$

$\sf\large{\star To\: find:-}$

$\sf\large{\star Solution:-}$

$\rightarrow$ As we know that,

Perimeter of rectangle =
$\sf\blue{2(length+width)}$

So, by putting the value of perimeter and width in this formula we get,

$\rightarrow$
$\sf{2(l+10)\:=\: 46}$

$\rightarrow$
$\sf{2l+20\:=\: 46}$

$\rightarrow$
$\sf{2l\:=\: 46-20}$

$\rightarrow$
$\sf{2l\:=\: 26}$

$\rightarrow$
$\sf{l \:=\: (26)/(2)}$

$\rightarrow$
$\sf{l\:=\: 13m.}$

Therefore, length of the rectangular garage =
$\sf\purple{=\: 13m.}$
