To find the length of the base of the sign, we first need to use the formula for the area of a triangle, which is:
Area = (base * height) / 2
Given in this case:
Area = 7.5 square feet
Height = 2.5 feet
Rearranging the formula, we can solve for the base:
Base = (2 * Area) / Height
Base = (2 * 7.5) / 2.5
Base = 15 / 2.5
Base = 6
Therefore, the length of the base of Ja'Miles' sign is 6 feet.
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?
