Without a clear diagram or specific measurements provided, it is difficult to calculate the area of the non-right triangle. However, if the figure is surrounded by a rectangle and composed of right triangles, you can find the area by calculating the area of the rectangle and subtracting the areas of the right triangles.
To calculate the area of the right triangles, you can use the formula A = 0.5 * base * height. Once you have the areas of the right triangles, subtract them from the area of the rectangle to find the total area of the non-right triangle.
What is the area of the non-right triangle? The base and height are found by counting the squares.
The problem says that the base and height can be found by counting squares but that won't work.
The directions should say draw a rectangle around the figure, touching all three vertices. Then use the composed right triangles surrounded by a rectangle to find the area.
What is the area of square units?
