Ja’Miles designs a sign for a store in the shape of a triangle. His design is 7.5 square feet in area, and the triangle has a height of 2.5 feet. What is the length of the base of his sign?(1 point)

Answer 1

The length of the base of the sign is 6 feet.

To find the length of the base, we can use the formula for the area of a triangle:

Area = (1/2) x base x height

We know that the area is 7.5 square feet and the height is 2.5 feet, so we can plug those values into the formula:

7.5 = (1/2) x base x 2.5

Simplifying, we can multiply both sides by 2:

15 = base x 2.5

Dividing both sides by 2.5:

base = 6
