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) Responses 3 feet 3 feet 0.6 feet 0.6 feet 6 feet 6 feet 10 feet
The area of a triangle is given by the formula: Area = 0.5 * base * height
Given that the area is 7.5 square feet and the height is 2.5 feet, we can plug these values into the formula:
7.5 = 0.5 * base * 2.5
Now, solve for base:
7.5 = 1.25 * base
base = 7.5 / 1.25
base = 6 feet
Therefore, the length of the base of the sign is 6 feet.
