marigold measures the length and height of a triangular sandwhich. if the sandwhich base measures 4 inches its area measures 7 square inches

The formula for the area of a triangle is 1/2 * base * height. Therefore, if the base of the sandwich measures 4 inches and the area is 7 square inches, we can set up the equation:

1/2 * 4 inches * height = 7 square inches

Solving for the height:

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

Therefore, the height of the sandwich is 3.5 inches.
