Marigold measures length and height of a triangular sandwich. Is the sandwiches base measures 4 inches in is area measure 7 in.², what is the height in inches of the sandwich?

Answer 1

To find the height of the sandwich, we can use the formula for the area of a triangle:

Area = (base * height) / 2

Given that the base of the sandwich measures 4 inches and the area is 7 in², we can rearrange the formula to solve for the height:

7 = (4 * height) / 2

Multiplying both sides by 2:

14 = 4 * height

Dividing both sides by 4:

height = 14 / 4 = 3.5 inches

The height of the sandwich is 3.5 inches.
