Area and Perimeter Unit Test

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?

0.6 feet

3 feet

10 feet

6 feet

First, let's calculate the area of the triangle using the formula A = 1/2 * base * height.

7.5 = 1/2 * base * 2.5
Base = 7.5 / (1/2 * 2.5)
Base = 7.5 / 1.25
Base = 6 feet

Therefore, the length of the base of Ja'Miles sign is 6 feet.

So the answer is: 6 feet
