The building gives 10 feet that the rope does not need to , so 32 feet of rope to finish the rectangle. Another 10 feet ONCE only, must come from the rope.

32-10=22, and the other dimension at most could be w=22%2F2=11.
Any width from greater than 0 to maximum 11 feet can be the width of the adjascent rectangle.
