To find the length of the base of the triangle, we can use the formula for the area of a triangle which is 1/2 multiplied by the base multiplied by the height.
Given:
Area = 7.5 square feet
Height = 2.5 feet
Let the length of the base be x feet.
So, we have:
7.5 = 1/2 * x * 2.5
7.5 = 1.25x
x = 7.5 / 1.25
x = 6
Therefore, the length of the base of Ja’Miles' sign is 6 feet, which corresponds to option B.
