Yield sign is a triangle and has an area of 10 sq ft. the height is 4ft what is the base length? show your work

1 answer

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

Area = (base x height) / 2

Given:
Area = 10 sq ft
Height = 4 ft

Plugging in the values:
10 = (base x 4) / 2
10 = 2base

Divide both sides by 2:
base = 10 / 2
base = 5

Therefore, the base length of the yield sign is 5 ft.
