Humpback whales grow to be about 52 feet (16 m) long, weighing 30-50 tons (27-45 tonnes). The females are slightly larger than males, as with all baleen whales. The four-chambered heart of the average humpback whale weighs about 430 pounds (195 kg) - about as much as three average adult human beings. http://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/whales/species/Humpbackwhale.shtml

I am assuming you mean length. Today, the longest known humpback is a female who is seen regularly in Hawaiian waters. She is 63 feet long and 63 tons. The longest whales on record by whalers were also females (who are larger than males). The longest was 97 feet, another was 88 feet when they were destroyed. As more research and combing of whaling records is done, we may find even bigger humpbacks. (reefannie 2014)

This would depend on whether calf or adult. New calves gain approx. 100 lbs per day and grow about one foot per month. Juveniles grow at a slower rate, and adults slower than that. No one knows how long a humpback lives, but in whaling records there was a female humpback over 90 feet long, who must have been quite old. Another female on the Eastern Seaboard was recorded to be 88 feet long. To this day no humpbacks come close. There is a female seen in Hawaii nearly every year for calving or mating, and she is 63 feet long. Adults are said to weigh about 1 ton per foot!
