Answer 1

The area of a triangle is given by the formula: Area = (1/2) * 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:

7.5 = (1/2) * base * 2.5

Now we can solve for the base:

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

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