Answer 3

Let's re-calculate to be sure:

Since the area of a triangle is (base * height) / 2, we can use the given information to find the height.

Area = 7 square inches
Base = 4 inches

7 = (4 * height) / 2
7 = 2 * height
height = 7 / 2
height = 3.5 inches

You are correct. The height of the sandwich is 3.5 inches. Thank you for pointing that out.
