Ur mom 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? Use the formula sheet provided. (1 point) Responses 0.6 feet 0.6 feet 3 feet 3 feet 10 feet 10 feet 6 feet
I apologize for the mistake in my initial response. Let me explain it further:
Given that:
Area of a triangle = 0.5 x base x height
Area = 7.5 square feet
Height = 2.5 feet
We are looking for the length of the base.
First, plug in the given values:
7.5 = 0.5 x base x 2.5
Now, solve for the base:
7.5 = 1.25 x base
base = 7.5 / 1.25
base = 6 feet
Therefore, the length of the base of the sign should be 6 feet.
3 feet
Explanation:
Area of a triangle = 0.5 x base x height
7.5 = 0.5 x base x 2.5
15 = base x 2.5
base = 15 / 2.5 = 6 feet
