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 1 and the right of column 6. The second vertex is at the top of row 7 and the right of column 1. The third vertex is at the top of row 7 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.

The area of the non-right triangle is 24 square units.
To calculate the area, first calculate the base and height of the triangle by counting the squares. The base is 5 units and the height is 6 units.
Then, use the formula for the area of a triangle:
Area = 1/2 * base * height
Area = 1/2 * 5 * 6
Area = 1/2 * 30
Area = 15 square units.
Therefore, the area of the non-right triangle is 15 square units.
