Marigold measure 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?

Question

A) 14 inches
B) 3.5 inches
C) 1.75 inches
D) 11 inches

Answer 1

To find the height of the triangle sandwich, we can use the formula for the area of a triangle which is 1/2 * base * height.

Given that the base of the sandwich is 4 inches and the area is 7 square inches, we can plug in the values:

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

Therefore, the height of the sandwich is 3.5 inches.

The answer is B) 3.5 inches.
