Answer:

36 ft

Explanation:


  • \triangle ABC\sim\triangle DEF (Given)

  • Perimeters and corresponding sides of similar triangles are in proportion


  • \implies(P( \triangle ABC))/(P(\triangle DEF))=(BC)/(EF)


  • \implies(P( \triangle ABC))/(12)=(15)/(5)


  • \implies(P( \triangle ABC))/(12)=3


  • \implies P( \triangle ABC) =12(3)


  • \implies P( \triangle ABC) =36 \: ft
