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)
• 0.6 feet
• 10 feet
• 3 feet
• 6 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 substitute these values into the formula and solve for the base:
7.5 = 0.5 * base * 2.5
base = 7.5 / 1.25
base = 6
Therefore, the length of the base of Ja'Miles' sign is 6 feet.
The correct answer is:
• 6 feet
