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? (1 point)

Answer 1

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

Area = 0.5 * base * height

Given:
Area = 7.5 square feet
Height = 2.5 feet

Substitute the given values into the formula:

7.5 = 0.5 * base * 2.5

Simplify:

7.5 = 1.25 * base

Divide by 1.25 to solve for the base:

base = 7.5 / 1.25
base = 6

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