Answer:

The width is 7 inches, the length is 15 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

If the width is x inches, then the length is 2x+1 inches. Since the perimeter of a rectangle is 2 times the width plus 2 times the length, the perimeter will be 2x+2(2x+1), which simplifies to 6x+2. Since the perimeter is 44 inches, we get the equation 6x+2=44, which makes x=7. So, the width is 7 and the length is 15.

Answer:Let x = height of building to the nearest foot.

x/63 = 660(45)

45x = 660(63)

45x = 41580
