3 feet

1 answer

6 feet

To find the length of the base of the triangle, we use the formula for the area of a triangle: A = 1/2 * base * height

Since the area is 7.5 square feet and the height is 2.5 feet, we can plug in these values:

7.5 = 1/2 * base * 2.5

Solving for the base:

base = 2 * (7.5 / 2.5) = 6 feet

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