Text in the illustration

35 feet
a good rule of thumb is that there should be a downspout for every 35 feet of gutter

Generated explanation

The illustration shows an eaves gutter along a sloping roof edge draining into a single downspout near the middle of the wall. A dimension line marks 35 feet of gutter, and an annotation recommends one downspout for every 35 feet of gutter as a rule of thumb. An offset connects the gutter outlet to the vertical downspout against the exterior wall. At the bottom, an elbow and extension direct discharge away from the wall.
