Answer:

The rectangular garage is 13m long.

Explanation:


\sf\large{\star Given:-}

  • Perimeter of rectangular garage =
    \sf\pink{46 \:m.}
  • Width of the rectangular garage =
    \sf\pink{10\:m.}


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

  • How long is the garage (length of garage).


\sf\large{\star Solution:-}


\rightarrowAs 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.}
