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?

A. 1.75 inches
B. 14 inches
C. 3.5 inches
D. 11 inches

1 answer

C. 3.5 inches

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

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

Therefore, the height of the sandwich is 3.5 inches.
