Question

Use the image to answer the question.

An illustration shows a 10 by 10 grid. A non-right triangle is enclosed within the grid. The first vertex at the top of row 2 and the right of column 8. The second vertex is at the top of row 4 and the right of column 1. The third vertex is at the bottom of row 10 and the right of column 8.

What is the area of the non-right triangle? The base and height are found by counting the squares.

The area of the triangle is 14 square units.

To find the area of the non-right triangle, we need to calculate the base and height of the triangle.

The base of the triangle is 8 units (from column 1 to 8).
The height of the triangle is 2 units (from row 2 to 10).

Therefore, the area of the triangle is (1/2) * base * height = (1/2) * 8 * 2 = 8 square units.

Answer 2

its not 21 and 14

Apologies for the mistake. Let's try to calculate the area again.

The base of the triangle is the distance from column 1 to column 8, which is 8 units.
The height of the triangle is the distance from row 2 to row 10, which is 8 units.

Therefore, the area of the triangle is (1/2) * base * height = (1/2) * 8 * 8 = 32 square units.

So, the correct area of the non-right triangle is 32 square units. Thank you for your patience.

I apologize for the errors in my previous responses. Let's try to calculate the area of the non-right triangle correctly based on the provided information.

The base of the triangle is 7 units (from column 1 to column 8).
The height of the triangle is 8 units (from row 2 to row 10).

Therefore, the area of the triangle is (1/2) * base * height = (1/2) * 7 * 8 = 28 square units.

So, the correct area of the non-right triangle is 28 square units. Thank you for your patience.
