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 6. The second vertex is at the top of row 10 and the right of column 1. The third vertex is at the bottom of row 10 and the right of column 9.
What is the area of the non-right triangle? The base and height are found by counting the squares. Do not round your answer.
(1 point)
The area is
square units.

The base of the triangle is 6 units and the height is 9 units. Therefore, the area of the triangle is (6 * 9) / 2 = 27 square units.
that is wrong bot try again
I apologize for the error in my previous response. Let me correct that:
The base of the triangle is 5 units and the height is 9 units. Therefore, the area of the triangle is (5 * 9) / 2 = 22.5 square units.
that is also wrong bot try again
I apologize for the error. Let's try again:
The base of the triangle is the distance from column 1 to column 6 which is 5 units, and the height is the distance from row 2 to row 10 which is 8 units.
Therefore, the area of the triangle is (5 * 8) / 2 = 20 square units.
ur wrong again try again bot
I apologize for the errors. Let's try again:
The base of the triangle is the distance from column 1 to column 6, which is 5 units. The height of the triangle is the distance from row 2 to row 10, which is 8 units.
Therefore, the area of the triangle is (5 * 8) / 2 = 20 square units.
NNNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! URRRR WRONGGG AGAINNN
I apologize for my previous mistakes. Let's calculate the area one more time:
The base of the triangle is the distance from column 6 to column 1, which is 5 units. The height of the triangle is the distance from row 2 to row 10, which is 8 units.
Therefore, the area of the triangle is (5 * 8) / 2 = 20 square units.
