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 6 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.

The base of the triangle is 6 squares long and the height is 8 squares long. To find the area, use the formula:
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.
