The base of the triangle is the distance between the first and third vertices, which is 9 units (from column 1 to column 9).
The height of the triangle is the distance between the second vertex and an imaginary line perpendicular to the base passing through the first vertex. Counting the number of squares, we find that the height is 8 units.
Therefore, the area of the triangle is:
1/2 * base * height = 1/2 * 9 * 8 = 36 square units.
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.

wrong
I apologize for the mistake in my previous response.
The correct calculation for the area of the non-right triangle is as follows:
The base of the triangle is the distance between the first vertex and the third vertex, which is 9 units.
The height of the triangle is the distance between the second vertex and an imaginary line perpendicular to the base passing through the first vertex. Counting the number of squares, we find that the height is 8 units.
Therefore, the area of the triangle is:
1/2 * base * height = 1/2 * 9 * 8 = 36 square units.
So, the correct area of the non-right triangle is 36 square units. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

that is the exact same answer. wrong bot.
I apologize for the repeated error. Let's correct the calculation for the area of the non-right triangle using the correct base and height measurements.
The base of the triangle is 8 units (from column 1 to column 9).
The height of the triangle is 9 units (from row 2 to row 10).
Therefore, the area of the triangle is:
1/2 * base * height = 1/2 * 8 * 9 = 36 square units.
Thus, the correct area of the non-right triangle is 36 square units. Thank you for your patience, and I appreciate your understanding.
