To find the height of the sandwich, we can use the formula for the area of a triangle, which is given by the formula:

Area = 1/2 * base * height

We are given that the base of the sandwich is 4 inches, and the area is 7 square inches. Therefore, we can rewrite the formula as:

7 = 1/2 * 4 * height

To solve for the height, we can isolate the height variable by dividing both sides of the equation by (1/2 * 4), which simplifies to 2:

7/2 = height

Therefore, the height of the sandwich is 7/2, which is equal to 3.5 inches.

To find the height of the sandwich, we can use the formula for the area of a triangle, which is given by:

Area = (base * height) / 2

We are given that the base of the sandwich measures 4 inches and the area measures 7 square inches. Plugging these values into the formula, we have:

7 = (4 * height) / 2

To solve for the height, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 2 and then divide by 4:

14 = 4 * height
height = 14 / 4
height = 3.5

Therefore, the height of the sandwich is 3.5 inches.
