The length of the rectangle is 51 inches while the width of the rectangle is 28 inches.
Since Kristin wants to wrap a ribbon around the perimeter of a rectangle, the perimeter of a rectangle P = 2(L + W) where L = length of rectangle and W = width of rectangle.
Given that the perimeter of the rectangle, P = 56 inches and the length of the rectangle, L is five less than twice the width of the rectangle, W we have that
L = 2W - 5
Substituting L into P, we have
P = 2(2W - 5 + W)
P = 2(W - 5)
Since P = 56, we have
2(W - 5) = 56
~Dividing both sides by 2, we have
W - 5 = 56/2
W - 5 = 23
Adding 5 to both sides, we have
W = 23 + 5
W = 28 inches
Substituting W into L, we have
L = 2W - 5
L = 2(28) - 5
L = 56 - 5
L = 51 inches
So, the length of the rectangle is 51 inches while the width of the rectangle is 28 inches.

Answer: segment KH
Explanation:
The altitude of a triangle is defined as a segment connecting one of the vertex of the triangle with the opposite side of the triangle (or with an external prolongation of it), forming a right angle with it.
Note that the altitude of a triangle can also be outside the area of the triangle.
If we look at the picture, we see that:
- IH is a side, so it is not an altitude of the triangle
- KH is an altitude of the triangle, since it connects the vertex H with the external prolongation of IG, and it makes a right angle with it
- GJ: we don't know if it is an altitude, since we don't know if it forms a right angle or not
- GH: it is a side of the triangle, so it is not an altitude
So, the correct answer is segment KH.
