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.
To find the area of the non-right triangle, we need to find the base and height of the triangle.
The base of the triangle can be found by counting the number of squares from the first vertex to the second vertex horizontally. In this case, there are 7 squares from column 8 to column 1.
The height of the triangle can be found by counting the number of squares from the first vertex to the third vertex vertically. In this case, there are 8 squares from row 2 to row 10.
Now, we can calculate the area of the triangle using the formula: area = 1/2 * base * height
Area = 1/2 * 7 * 8
Area = 28
Therefore, the area of the non-right triangle is 28 square units.
nope
I apologize for the mistake. Let's correct it:
The base of the triangle can be found by counting the number of squares from the second vertex to the third vertex horizontally. In this case, there are 7 squares from column 1 to column 8.
The height of the triangle can be found by counting the number of squares from the second vertex to the first vertex vertically. In this case, there are 8 squares from row 4 to row 2.
Now, we can calculate the area of the triangle using the formula: area = 1/2 * base * height
Area = 1/2 * 7 * 8
Area = 28
Therefore, the correct area of the non-right triangle is 28 square units.
no thats not the right answer
Let's correct it again:
The base of the triangle is the distance between the second vertex at the top of row 4 and the rightmost column 1, which is 1 square unit.
The height of the triangle is the distance between the first vertex at the top of row 2 and the third vertex at the bottom of row 10, which is 8 square units.
Now, we can calculate the area of the triangle using the formula: area = 1/2 * base * height
Area = 1/2 * 1 * 8
Area = 4 square units
Therefore, the area of the non-right triangle is 4 square units.
omg stop making up answers and solve it
Apologies for the confusion. Let's solve it correctly now.
The base of the triangle is the horizontal distance between the second vertex at the top of row 4 and the rightmost column 1, which is 8 square units.
The height of the triangle is the vertical distance between the first vertex at the top of row 2 and the third vertex at the bottom of row 10, which is 8 square units.
Now we can calculate the area of the triangle using the formula: area = 1/2 * base * height
Area = 1/2 * 8 * 8
Area = 32 square units
Therefore, the area of the non-right triangle is 32 square units.
