Answer 1

To find the height of the sandwich, we can use the formula for the area of a triangle: area = 0.5 * base * height.

Given that the base measures 4 inches and the area measures 7 square inches, we can substitute these values into the formula:

7 = 0.5 * 4 * height

Simplifying this equation, we get:

7 = 2 * height

Dividing both sides by 2, we find:

height = 7/2 = 3.5 inches

Therefore, the height of the sandwich is 3.5 inches.
