Ja'Miles designs a sign for a store in the shape of a triangle. His design is 7.5 square feet in area, and the triangle has a height of 2.5 feet. What is the length of the base of his sign?
(1 point)
To find the length of the base of the sign, we first need to use the formula for the area of a triangle, which is:
Area = (base * height) / 2
Given in this case:
Area = 7.5 square feet
Height = 2.5 feet
Rearranging the formula, we can solve for the base:
Base = (2 * Area) / Height
Base = (2 * 7.5) / 2.5
Base = 15 / 2.5
Base = 6
Therefore, the length of the base of Ja'Miles' sign is 6 feet.
