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 at the top of row 2 and the right of column 8. The second vertex is at the top of row 4 and the right of column 1. The third vertex is at the bottom of row 10 and the right of column 8.
What is the area of the non-right triangle? The base and height are found by counting the squares.

The area is
square units.
its not 21
its not 21 and 14
its not 21,14 and 32
The area of the triangle is 14 square units.
To find the area of the non-right triangle, we need to calculate the base and height of the triangle.
The base of the triangle is 8 units (from column 1 to 8).
The height of the triangle is 2 units (from row 2 to 10).
Therefore, the area of the triangle is (1/2) * base * height = (1/2) * 8 * 2 = 8 square units.
Apologies for the mistake. Let's try to calculate the area again.
The base of the triangle is the distance from column 1 to column 8, which is 8 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 (1/2) * base * height = (1/2) * 8 * 8 = 32 square units.
So, the correct area of the non-right triangle is 32 square units. Thank you for your patience.
I apologize for the errors in my previous responses. Let's try to calculate the area of the non-right triangle correctly based on the provided information.
The base of the triangle is 7 units (from column 1 to column 8).
The height of the triangle is 8 units (from row 2 to row 10).
Therefore, the area of the triangle is (1/2) * base * height = (1/2) * 7 * 8 = 28 square units.
So, the correct area of the non-right triangle is 28 square units. Thank you for your patience.
