Answer 1

The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula A = (1/2)bh, where A is the area, b is the base, and h is the height.

In this case, the base of the sandwich measures 4 inches and the area measures 7 square inches.

Using the formula, we can substitute the given values:

7 = (1/2)(4)(h)

Now we can solve for h:

Multiplying both sides by 2:

14 = 4h

Dividing both sides by 4:

h = 14/4

Simplifying:

h = 7/2

Therefore, the height of the sandwich is 7/2 inches.
