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 1. The second vertex is at the top of row 10 and the right of column 4. The third vertex is at the top of row 10 and the right of column 7.

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

Answer 1

The area of the non-right triangle is 14 square units.

First, we need to find the base and height of the triangle by counting the squares. The base is 3 units and the height is 4 units.

Therefore, the area of the triangle is (1/2) * base * height = (1/2) * 3 * 4 = 6 * 4 = 24 square units.

So, the correct answer is 24 square units.
