Marigold measures the length and height of a triangular sandwich. If the sandwich’s base measures 4 inches and its area measures 7 square inches, what is the height in inches of the sandwich? (1 point) Responses 14 inches 14 inches 11 inches 11 inches 3.5 inches 3.5 inches 1.75 inches

Answer 1

The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula:

Area = (1/2) * base * height

Given that the base of the sandwich measures 4 inches and the area measures 7 square inches, we can rearrange the formula to solve for the height:

7 = (1/2) * 4 * height

Multiplying both sides of the equation by 2 gives:

14 = 4 * height

Dividing both sides by 4 gives:

height = 14/4 = 3.5 inches

Therefore, the height of the sandwich is 3.5 inches.
