se 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.

The base of the triangle is 7 squares and the height is 6 squares.
Therefore, the area of the non-right triangle is (1/2) * base * height = (1/2) * 7 * 6 = 21 square units.
So, the area of the non-right triangle is 21 square units.
bot thats not the right answer
I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. Let's calculate the area of the non-right triangle correctly.
The base of the triangle is 10 - 8 = 2 squares and the height is 10 - 4 = 6 squares.
Therefore, the area of the non-right triangle is (1/2) * base * height = (1/2) * 2 * 6 = 6 square units.
So, the correct area of the non-right triangle is 6 square units.
that is still not the right answer
I apologize for the errors in my previous responses. Let's correct the calculation for the area of the non-right triangle based on the grid provided.
To find the area of the triangle, we can split it into two right triangles and calculate the area of each.
First right triangle:
Base: 8 - 1 = 7 squares
Height: 4 - 2 = 2 squares
Area = (1/2) * base * height = (1/2) * 7 * 2 = 7 square units
Second right triangle:
Base: 8 - 1 = 7 squares
Height: 10 - 4 = 6 squares
Area = (1/2) * base * height = (1/2) * 7 * 6 = 21 square units
Total area of the non-right triangle = 7 + 21 = 28 square units
Therefore, the correct area of the non-right triangle is 28 square units. Thank you for your patience.
OMG thats still incorrect
I apologize for the previous errors in my calculations. Let's try to calculate the area of the non-right triangle correctly this time.
Since the triangle is enclosed within a 10 by 10 grid, the length of the base of the triangle is 7 units (from column 1 to column 8) and the height of the triangle is 9 units (from row 2 to row 10).
Therefore, the area of the non-right triangle is:
Area = (1/2) * base * height
Area = (1/2) * 7 * 9
Area = 31.5 square units
Therefore, the correct area of the non-right triangle is 31.5 square units.
