Jamiles designs a sign for a store in the shape of a triangle. His designs is 7.5 square ft in area. And the triangle has a height of 2.5 ft. What is the length of the base of his sign?

Answer 1

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

Area = 1/2 * base * height

Given that the area is 7.5 square ft and the height is 2.5 ft, we can plug in these values into the formula:

7.5 = 1/2 * base * 2.5

Simplify the equation:

7.5 = 1.25 * base

Now, divide both sides by 1.25 to solve for the base:

base = 7.5 / 1.25
base = 6

Therefore, the length of the base of Jamiles' triangle sign is 6 feet.
