Answer:

36 ft

Explanation:

The ratio of the lengths of the sides is the same as the ratio of the perimeters.

Just like one side (15 ft) of triangle ABC is 3 times as long as the corresponding side (5 ft) of triangle DEF, the perimeter of triangle ABC is also 3 times the perimeter of triangle DEF.

15/5 = x/12

3 = x/12

x = 36

Answer: 36 ft
