Jamiles 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

Answer 1

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

Area = 1/2 * base * height

Given:
Area = 7.5 square feet
Height = 2.5 feet

Plugging in the values:

7.5 = 1/2 * base * 2.5

Solving for the base:

7.5 = 1.25 * base

Divide both sides by 1.25:

base = 6

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