Answer:

Length of the Rectangle = 10 inches

and  Width = 25 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width of the rectangle  = k inches

So, the Length of the rectangle = (3k - 5) inches

Perimeter = 70 inches

Now, Perimeter of the Rectangle = 2(Length + Width)

= 2 (k + (3k-5))

⇒  2 (k + (3k-5))   = 70

or, 2(k + 3k -5) = 70   ⇒    2(4k - 5)  = 70

⇒ 8k - 10 = 70

or, 8k = 70+ 10 = 80

or, k = 80/8 = 10

So, the Length = 10 inches

Hence, Width = 3k - 5 = 3(10) - 5 = 30 - 5 = 25 inches

So, Length of the Rectangle = 10 inches

                            and  Width = 25 inches

Answer:

Alternate Interior angles

Explanation: Usually an angle of elevation is less than or equal to 90°. ... As a result the angles of elevation and depression are alternate (interior) angles. Since the transversal intersects two parallel lines, and alternate interior angles are congruent, the angle of elevation and angle of depression must also be congruent.
