The problem is asking for the perimeter and area of triangle ABC. Let's break it down:

• We are given that DF is perpendicular to CE, and the angles ∠CAB and ∠CDE are equal.
• The sides of triangle ABC are provided, with AB = AC = 13 feet.

To determine the perimeter of triangle ABC, we need the length of BC. Since ∠CAB = ∠CDE and the triangles ABC and CDE are similar, we can use proportionality to find BC.

Step 1: Find BC using triangle similarity

We can use the fact that the triangles are similar. From triangle similarity, the ratio of corresponding sides will be the same. The ratio of the sides of triangle ABC to triangle CDE will be:

$\frac{AB}{CD} = \frac{AC}{CE} = \frac{BC}{DE}$

Given that AB = AC = 13 feet, CD = 48 feet, and CE = 52 feet, we can substitute these values to find BC.

Step 2: Calculate the perimeter

Once we have BC, the perimeter P of triangle ABC is the sum of all its sides:

$P = AB + AC + BC$

Step 3: Calculate the area

The area A of triangle ABC can be determined using the formula for the area of a triangle:

$A = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}$

The base will be BC, and the height will be the perpendicular distance from point A to the base BC (which is 13 feet, as indicated).

I'll go ahead and compute these calculations for you.
