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.
