The formula to find the area of a triangle is 1/2 * base * height. Given that 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 = 1.25 * base
base = 7.5 / 1.25
base = 6 feet
Therefore, the length of the base of Ja’Milss's sign is 6 feet.
