Answer 1

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

Area = (base * height) / 2.

Plugging in the given values, we have:

7 = (4 * height) / 2.

Multiplying both sides by 2, we get:

14 = 4 * height.

Dividing both sides by 4, we get:

height = 14 / 4 = 3.5 inches.

Therefore, the height of the sandwich is 3.5 inches.
