The area of a triangle is given by the formula A = 1/2 * base * height. We know that the area is 7.5 sq ft and the height is 2.5 ft.
So, plugging in the values and solving for the base:
7.5 = 1/2 * base * 2.5
7.5 = 1.25 * base
base = 7.5 / 1.25
base = 6
Therefore, the length of the base of Ja'Miles's sign is 6 feet.
The correct answer is: 6 feet
