6 feet
10 feet
3 feet
0.6 feet
3 feet
To find the length of the base of the triangle, you can use the formula for the area of a triangle:
Area = 0.5 * base * height
Given that the area is 7.5 square feet and the height is 2.5 feet, you can plug in those values and solve for the base:
7.5 = 0.5 * base * 2.5
7.5 = 1.25 * base
base = 7.5 / 1.25
base = 6 feet
Therefore, the length of the base of Ja'Miles' sign is 6 feet.
