The base of the triangle is 6 squares long (from column 1 to column 6) and the height is 2 squares (from row 2 to row 10).
Using the formula for the area of a triangle (Area = 1/2 * base * height):
Area = 1/2 * 6 * 2
Area = 6 square units
Therefore, the area of the non-right triangle is 6 square units.
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 8 and the right of column 1. The third vertex is at the top of row 10 and right of column 10.
What is the area of the non-right triangle? The base and height are found by counting the squares.
