1 answer

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

Given that the base is 4 inches and the area is 7 square inches, we can set up the equation as:

7 = (1/2) * 4 * height

Solving for height:

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

Therefore, the height of the sandwich is 3.5 inches.
