Answer:

The length of the base is 340 ft and the width of the base is 135 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the length of the base

y ----> the width of the base

we know that

The perimeter of the rectangular base is

P=2(x+y)\\P=950\ ft

so

950=2(x+y) -----> equation A

x=3y-65 -----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A  and solve for y

950=2(3y-65+y)

475=(4y-65)

4y=475+65

4y=540

y=135

Find the value of x

x=3(135)-65=340

therefore

The length of the base is 340 ft and the width of the base is 135 ft
