The formula for the area of a triangle is A = 1/2 * base * height. We are given the base (7 inches) and the area (43.75 square inches).
Substitute these values into the formula:
43.75 = 1/2 * 7 * height
Solve for height:
43.75 = 3.5 * height
height = 43.75 / 3.5
height = 12.5
Therefore, the height of Rainee's triangle is 12.5 inches.
