1.75 inches

Explanation:
The area of a triangle is given by the formula A = 1/2 * base * height. Given that the base is 4 inches and the area is 7 square inches, we can plug in these values to find 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.
