    41 feet

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We apply the theorem below:

    If two similar triangles have a scale factor of a : b, then the ratio of their perimeters is a : b.

    Let x be the perimeter of the smaller triangle

    If the ratio of their heights is 6:5 and the perimeter of the larger triangle is 49.2 feet,

    6:5=49.2:x

    6/5=49.2/x

    Cross multiplying

    6x=49.2 X 5

    6x=246

    x=246/6=41

    The perimeter of the smaller triangle is 41 feet
