marigold measures 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.

1 answer

The formula for the area of a triangle is:

A = (base x height) / 2

We know that the base of the sandwich is 4 inches and the area is 7 square inches. So we can plug these values into the formula and solve for the height:

7 = (4 x height) / 2

Multiplying both sides by 2, we get:

14 = 4 x height

Dividing both sides by 4, we get:

height = 3.5

Therefore, the height of the sandwich is 3.5 inches.
