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 thr sandwich?
A. 14 inches
B. 3.5 inches
C. 11 inches
D. 1.75 inches
B. 3.5 inches
The formula for the area of a triangle is (1/2)base x height. Since the base is 4 inches and the area is 7 square inches, we can set up the equation as: (1/2)(4)(h) = 7.
From this, we can solve for the height:
2h = 7
h = 7/2
h = 3.5
Therefore, the height of the sandwich is 3.5 inches.
