Find the area of the non - right triangle. The base and height are found by counting the squares?
A: 32.5 square units
B: 65 square units
C: 35 square units
D: 17.5 square units
To find the area of a triangle, you can use the formula: area = 0.5 * base * height.
From the image, the base has a length of 5 units and the height has a length of 13 units.
So, the area of the triangle is:
area = 0.5 * 5 * 13
area = 0.5 * 65
area = 32.5 square units
Therefore, the correct answer is A: 32.5 square units.
