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 2 and the right of column 6. The second vertex is at the top of row 10 and the right of column 1. The third vertex is at the bottom of row 10 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. Do not round your answer.

The area is
square units.
The base of the triangle is 6 units (from column 6 to column 1) and the height is 8 units (from row 2 to row 10).
Area = 1/2 * base * height
Area = 1/2 * 6 * 8
Area = 24 square units
Therefore, the area of the non-right triangle is 24 square units.
wrong
I apologize for the mistake in my previous response.
To find the area of the non-right triangle, we can use the formula:
Area = 1/2 * base * height
The base of the triangle is 10 units (from column 6 to column 1) and the height is 9 units (from row 2 to row 10).
Area = 1/2 * 10 * 9
Area = 45 square units
Therefore, the correct area of the non-right triangle is 45 square units.
it is wrong
Apologies for the mistake. Let's try calculating the area of the non-right triangle again using the correct base and height values.
Base: Counting the number of grid squares horizontally from column 6 to column 1, we get a base of 5 units.
Height: Counting the number of grid squares vertically from row 2 to row 10, we get a height of 8 units.
Area = 1/2 * base * height
Area = 1/2 * 5 * 8
Area = 20 square units
Therefore, the correct area of the non-right triangle enclosed within the grid is 20 square units. Thank you for your patience.
