To find the height, we can use the formula for the area of a triangle, which is: (base * height)/2.
Given that the area is 7 in² and the base is 4 inches, we can substitute this data into the formula:
(4 * height)/2 = 7
Simplifying this equation, we get:
4 * height = 14
Dividing both sides of the equation by 4, we find:
height = 14/4
height = 3.5 inches
Therefore, the height of the sandwich is 3.5 inches.
