Jamal's designs a sign for a store in the shape of a triangle his design is 7.5 ft in area and the triangle has a height of 2.5 ft 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:
Area = (1/2) * base * height
Given that the area is 7.5 ft and the height is 2.5 ft, we can plug in these values to solve for the base:
7.5 = (1/2) * base * 2.5
Multiplying both sides by 2:
15 = base * 2.5
Dividing by 2.5:
base = 15 / 2.5 = 6
Therefore, the length of the base of Jamal's sign is 6 ft.
