1 answer

The area of a triangle is calculated using the formula A = 1/2 * base * height. If the area of the triangle is 7.5 square feet and the height is 2.5 feet, we can plug these values into the formula to find the base:

7.5 = 1/2 * base * 2.5
7.5 = 1.25 * base
base = 7.5 / 1.25
base = 6

Therefore, the length of the base of his sign is 6 feet.

So, the correct answer is: 6 feet
