To find the length of the base of the triangle, we can use the formula for the area of a triangle:
Area = (1/2) * base * height
Since the area is 7.5 square feet and the height is 2.5 feet, we can plug these values into the formula and solve for the base:
7.5 = (1/2) * base * 2.5
7.5 = (1/2) * 2.5 * base
7.5 = 1.25 * base
base = 7.5 / 1.25
base = 6
Therefore, the length of the base of his sign is 6 feet.
Therefore, the answer is C. 6 feet.
