Answer 1

To find the height of the sandwich, we can use the formula for the area of a triangle: A = (1/2) * base * height.

Given that the base of the sandwich is 4 inches and the area is 7 square inches, we can substitute these values into the formula:

7 = (1/2) * 4 * height

Simplifying the equation:

7 = 2 * height

Dividing both sides by 2:

3.5 = height

Therefore, the height of the sandwich is 3.5 inches.
