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? (1 point) Responses 11 inches 11 inches 3.5 inches 3.5 inches 1.75 inches 1.75 inches 14 inches
The area of a triangle is calculated using the formula: area = 0.5 * base * height.
Given that the base is 4 inches and the area is 7 square inches, we can rearrange the formula to solve for the height:
7 = 0.5 * 4 * height
7 = 2 * height
height = 3.5 inches
Therefore, the height of the sandwich is 3.5 inches.
