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 10. The second vertex is at the top of row 4 and the left of column 1. The third vertex is at the bottom of row 10 and the right of column 10.
What is the area of the non-right triangle? The base and height are found by counting the squares.

The area is
square units.

The base of the triangle is 9 units (10-1) and the height is 6 units (10-4).
Therefore, the area of the triangle is:
(1/2) * base * height = (1/2) * 9 * 6 = 27 square units.
no
Apologies for the confusion. Let's try again.
The base of the triangle is 9 units (10-1) and the height is 3 units (4-1).
Therefore, the area of the triangle is:
(1/2) * base * height = (1/2) * 9 * 3 = 13.5 square units.
