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.

(1 point)
The area is
square units.

Answer 1

Area = 1/2 * base * height
Base = 10 - 1 = 9 units
Height = 10 - 4 = 6 units

Area = 1/2 * 9 * 6 = 27 square units

Therefore, the area of the non-right triangle is 27 square units.
