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 14 inches 14 inches 11 inches 11 inches 3.5 inches 3.5 inches 1.75 inches
The area of a triangle can be calculated using the formula:
Area = (1/2) * base * height
Given that the base of the sandwich measures 4 inches and the area measures 7 square inches, we can rearrange the formula to solve for the height:
7 = (1/2) * 4 * height
Multiplying both sides of the equation by 2 gives:
14 = 4 * height
Dividing both sides by 4 gives:
height = 14/4 = 3.5 inches
Therefore, the height of the sandwich is 3.5 inches.
