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 point)

Answer 1

The formula for the area of a triangle is A = 1/2 * base * height.

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

7 = 1/2 * 4 * height
7 = 2 * height
height = 7 / 2
height = 3.5 inches

Therefore, the height of the sandwich is 3.5 inches.
