So for this we will need to do two proportions. The first one will be
(6)/(11) =(12)/(12+EG)


Firstly, cross-multiply. Your equation should look like this:
72+6(EG)=132


Next, subtract 72 on each side to get
6(EG)=60


Lastly, divide 6 on each side, and then your answer should be
EG=10



Nextly, your next proportion is gonna be
(11)/(15) =(22)/(22+GC)


You'll be repeating the similar steps as before, so I'll just go thru it:



242+11(GC)=330\\ 11(GC)=88\\ GC=8



Now that we got all parts of the side, we just need to add them up:



12+10+8=30



In short, the answer is D. 30 ft.
