1 answer

The area of a triangle is calculated using the formula: area = 0.5 * base * height.

Given that the base is 4 inches and the area is 7 square inches, we can rearrange the formula to solve for the height:

7 = 0.5 * 4 * height
7 = 2 * height
height = 3.5 inches

Therefore, the height of the sandwich is 3.5 inches.
