Jamiles 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
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:
Area = 7.5 square feet
Height = 2.5 feet
Plugging in the values:
7.5 = 1/2 * base * 2.5
Solving for the base:
7.5 = 1.25 * base
Divide both sides by 1.25:
base = 6
Therefore, the length of the base of Jamiles' sign is 6 feet.
