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 is at the top of row 1 and the right of column 6. The second vertex is at the top of row 7 and the right of column 1. The third vertex is at the top of row 7 and the right of column 9.
What is the area of the non-right triangle? The base and height are found by counting the squares.

The base of the triangle is 5 units long, and the height is 6 units.
Area = 0.5 * base * height
Area = 0.5 * 5 * 6
Area = 15 square units
Therefore, the area of the non-right triangle is 24 square units.
