    13 by 20 inches

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Represent the quantities as follows:

    P = 2W + 2L

    L = W + 7

    Then P = 2W + 2 (W + 7), or P = 4W + 14

    and this formula has the value 66 inches.

    Thus, P = 66 inches = 4W + 14 inches, or

    52 inches = 4W

    Dividing both sides by 4, we get W = 13 inches.

    The width is 13 inches and the length is (13 + 7) inches, or 20 inches.
