Final answer:

No, there is no property for the boundary line that runs east-west.

Step-by-step explanation:

No, there is no property for the boundary line that runs east-west. This is because if we have a triangle with side lengths 45 meters, 60 meters, and 70 meters, and the 60 meter side runs north-south, then the other two sides must be at an angle to the north-south line. It is not possible for one of the sides to be parallel to the north-south line (east-west) because that would create a rectangle rather than a triangle.
