Answer:

Not larger or smaller; the areas are the same

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the formula for the area of a triangle of base b and height h is

A = (1/2)(b)(h).

In the first case, h = 3 ft and b = 2.5 ft.  This results in an area of 3.75 ft^2.

In the second case, h = 2.5 ft and b = 3 ft.  The area is the same:  3.75 ft^2.

This is because A = (1/2)(b)(h) has the same value regardless of the order in which b and h  are used as multipliers.

There is no difference in the areas of the two signs.  The areas are the same.
