Question

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

The area is _ square units.



(Unit 6 lesson 3)

Answer 1

its not 12 or 10

Answer 2

The area of a non-right triangle is found by the formula:

Area = 1/2 * base * height

In this case, the base of the triangle is 5 units and the height is 4 units.

So, the area would be:

Area = 1/2 * 5 * 4 = 10 square units

Therefore, the area of the non-right triangle is 10 square units.

Answer 3

Let's reevaluate the base and height of the non-right triangle by counting the blocks again to ensure accuracy.

Given the image, if we count the base and height of the triangle:

Base: 4 units
Height: 6 units

Using the formula for the area of a triangle:
Area = 1/2 * base * height
Area = 1/2 * 4 * 6
Area = 1/2 * 24
Area = 12 square units

Therefore, the correct area of the non-right triangle is 12 square units. Thank you for your patience.
