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 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.

The base of the triangle is 6 units (from column 1 to column 7) and the height is 4 units (from row 2 to row 10).

The area of a triangle is calculated using the formula: Area = 1/2 * base * height

Therefore, the area of the non-right triangle is: 1/2 * 6 * 4 = 12 square units

So the correct answer is: 12 square units
