To find the length of the base of the triangle sign, we can use the formula for finding the area of a triangle:
Area = 0.5 * base * height
Given that the area is 7.5 square feet and the height is 2.5 feet, we can plug these values into the formula and solve for the base:
7.5 = 0.5 * base * 2.5
7.5 = 1.25 * base
base = 7.5 / 1.25
base = 6
Therefore, the length of the base of Ja'Miles' triangle sign is 6 feet.
Area = 0.5 * base * height
Given that the area is 7.5 square feet and the height is 2.5 feet, we can plug these values into the formula and solve for the base:
7.5 = 0.5 * base * 2.5
7.5 = 1.25 * base
base = 7.5 / 1.25
base = 6
Therefore, the length of the base of Ja'Miles' triangle sign is 6 feet.
