Question

M a r i g o l d measure the length and height of a triangle sandwich. At the sandwiches-based measure 4 in and its area measures 7 square inches, what is the length in inches of the sandwich?

Answer 1

To find the length of the triangle sandwich, we can use the formula for the area of a triangle which is given by:

Area = 1/2 * base * height

Given that the base (length) of the triangle sandwich is 4 inches and the area is 7 square inches, we can substitute these values into the formula and solve for the height:

7 = 1/2 * 4 * height
7 = 2 * height
height = 7/2
height = 3.5 inches

Therefore, the height of the triangle sandwich is 3.5 inches.
