Answer:

9ft

Explanation:

The area is 135ft and the formula for area is length x width.

on the image it shows the height is 5yds and we want feet since that's that the area is in. a yard = 3 feet so its 3 x 5 = 15.

since the formula to find area is multiplication, use division to find a number in the equation. so

135 divided by 15 = 9.

The length of the base is 9ft.
