Ratio of AB : DC = 3 : 1 and Ratio of DC : AD = 4 : 5

Combining Ratios using the Common PART Side DC

Ratio of: AB : DC : AD = 12 : 4 : 5

Since Side AB = 12 ---- Side DC = 4 ---- Side AD = 5

Then you have 2 Common Pythagoras Triplets

Right Triangle ABD = 5 - 12 - 13
thus, Side BD = 13

Right Triangle BAC = 3 - 4 - 5 Multiple = 9 - 12 - 15
thus, Side BC = 15

Side BD + Side BC + Side DC = 13 + 15 + 4 = Perimeter of 32

Answer D

Given Data:
AB:DC = 3:1 and AD:DC = 5:4 and AB is 12
So, according the given ratios, first DC will be 4 and then accordingly AD will be 5.
Since angle D is a right angle, and AB is 12 and AD is 5, BD becomes 13.
Similarly, AB is 12 and AC is AD + DC = 5+4 = 9, then BC is 15.

So perimeter of shaded region is BD + DC + BC = 13 + 4 + 15

Answer - Option D = 32
