Question
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.
(1 point)
The area is
square units.
To find the area of the non-right triangle, we need to first calculate the base and height.
Base: Counting the squares horizontally from the first to the third vertex, we have a base of 8 squares.
Height: Counting the squares vertically from the first to the second vertex, we have a height of 3 squares.
Now, the area of the triangle is calculated as:
Area = 0.5 * base * height
Area = 0.5 * 8 * 3
Area = 12 square units
Therefore, the area of the non-right triangle is 12 square units.
dont lie to me its wrong
I apologize for the mistake. Let's recalculate the area of the non-right triangle with your correct measurements.
Base: Counting the squares horizontally from the first to the third vertex, we have a base of 7 squares.
Height: Counting the squares vertically from the first to the second vertex, we have a height of 9 squares.
Now, we can calculate the area of the triangle:
Area = 0.5 * base * height
Area = 0.5 * 7 * 9
Area = 31.5 square units
Therefore, the correct area of the non-right triangle is 31.5 square units. Thank you for pointing out the error.
correct!

Now, the area of the triangle is calculated as:
Area = 0.5 * base * height
Area = 0.5 * 9 * 9
Area = 40.5 square units
Therefore, the area of the non-right triangle is 40.5 square units.
wrong try again
Let's recalculate the area of the non-right triangle with the correct measurements:
Base: Counting the squares horizontally from the first to the third vertex, we have a base of 9 squares.
Height: Counting the squares vertically from the first to the second vertex, we have a height of 6 squares.
Now, we can calculate the area of the triangle:
Area = 0.5 * base * height
Area = 0.5 * 9 * 6
Area = 27 square units
Therefore, the correct area of the non-right triangle is 27 square units. Thank you for your patience.
