Using the area and the height in $\triangle PYT$, we see that $PT = 14$, and thus $AR = 14$, meaning the height from $Y$ to $AR$ is $6$. This means $PA = TR = 18$. By the Pythagorean Theorem $PY=\sqrt{12^2+9^2} = 15$ and $YT =\sqrt{12^2 +5^2} = 13$. Combining all of these gives us an answer of $18+14+18+13+15 = \boxed{78}$.

Let $\vartriangle ABC$ be a triangle with $AB = 13$, $BC = 14$, and $CA = 15$. Let $D$, $E$, and $F$ be the midpoints of $AB$, $BC$, and $CA$ respectively.

Starting from a pyramid $T_0$ whose edges are all of length $2019$, we construct the Figure $T_1$ when considering the triangles formed by the midpoints of the edges of each face of $T_0$, building in each of these new pyramid triangles with faces identical to base. Then the bases of these new pyramids are removed. Figure $T_2$ is constructed by applying the same process from $T_1$ on each triangular face resulting from $T_1$, and so on for $T_3, T_4, ...$
Let $D_0= \max \{d(x,y)\}$, where $x$ and $y$ are vertices of $T_0$ and $d(x,y)$ is the distance between $x$ and $y$. Then we define $D_{n + 1} = \max \{d (x, y) |d (x, y) \notin \{D_0, D_1,...,D_n\}$, where $x, y$ are vertices of $T_{n+1}$.
