Ja'Miles designs a sign for a store in the shape of a triangle. His design is 10 square feet in area, and the triangle has a height of 5 feet. What is the length of the base of his sign?
To find the length of the base of the sign, we can use the formula for the area of a triangle, which is:
Area = 1/2 * base * height
In this case, we know the area is 10 square feet and the height is 5 feet:
10 = 1/2 * base * 5
Multiplying both sides by 2 to isolate the base:
20 = base * 5
Dividing by 5:
base = 4
Therefore, the length of the base of Ja'Miles' sign is 4 feet.
WRONG WRONG WRONG THAT IS SOOOO WRONG
I apologize for that. Let's try solving the problem again.
We know that the area of the triangle is 10 square feet and the height is 5 feet. The formula for the area of a triangle is:
Area = (1/2) * base * height
Substitute the values we know:
10 = (1/2) * base * 5
Simplify:
10 = (5/2) * base
Now, to isolate the base:
base = (10 * 2) / 5
base = 20 / 5
base = 4
Therefore, the length of the base of Ja'Miles' sign is 4 feet. So, the correct answer is that the length of the base of his sign is 4 feet.
