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? Use the formula sheet provided. (1 point)
• 0.6 feet
• 3 feet
O 10 feet
• 6 feet
To find the length of the base of the triangle, use the formula for the area of a triangle:
Area = 0.5 * base * height
7.5 = 0.5 * base * 2.5
7.5 = 1.25 * base
base = 7.5 / 1.25
base = 6 feet
Therefore, the length of the base of Ja'Miles' sign is 6 feet.
The correct answer is:
• 6 feet
