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 2 and the right of column 6. The second vertex is at the top of row 10 and the right of column 1. The third vertex is at the bottom of row 10 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. Do not round your answer.
(1 point)
The base of the triangle is 5 squares (from column 6 to column 1) and the height is 8 squares (from row 2 to row 10).
Area = 0.5 x base x height
Area = 0.5 x 5 x 8
Area = 20 square units
Therefore, the area of the non-right triangle is 20 square units.
no that is not it
I apologize for the mistake. Let's find the correct area of the non-right triangle.
To find the area of a triangle, we can use the formula:
Area = 0.5 x base x height
The base of the triangle is the horizontal distance between the first and third vertices, which is 9 squares.
The height of the triangle is the vertical distance between the second vertex at the top of row 10 and the line formed by the first and third vertices. The height can be split into two parts: the height from row 2 to row 10 (8 squares) and the height from the top of row 10 to the line formed by the first and third vertices (1 square).
The total height is 8 + 1 = 9 squares.
Now we can calculate the area:
Area = 0.5 x base x height
Area = 0.5 x 9 x 9
Area = 40.5 square units
Therefore, the correct area of the non-right triangle is 40.5 square units. Thank you for pointing out the mistake.
no
Let's try calculating the area of the non-right triangle again:
To find the area of a triangle, we can use the formula:
Area = 0.5 x base x height
The base of the triangle is the horizontal distance between the first and third vertices, which is 8 squares.
The height of the triangle is the vertical distance between the second vertex at the top of row 10 and the line formed by the first and third vertices. The height can be split into two parts: the height from row 2 to row 10 (8 squares) and the height from the top of row 10 to the line formed by the first and third vertices (1 square).
The total height is 8 + 1 = 9 squares.
Now we can calculate the area:
Area = 0.5 x base x height
Area = 0.5 x 8 x 9
Area = 36 square units
Therefore, the correct area of the non-right triangle is 36 square units. Thank you for your patience.
nope
Apologies for the errors in the previous calculations. Let's try again to calculate the area of the non-right triangle:
Base of the triangle = 6 squares (from column 6 to column 1)
Height of the triangle = 9 squares (from row 2 to row 10)
Area of the triangle = 0.5 x base x height
Area = 0.5 x 6 x 9
Area = 27 square units
Therefore, the correct area of the non-right triangle is 27 square units. Thank you for your patience.
wrong
I apologize for the mistakes in the previous calculations. Let's re-calculate the area of the non-right triangle using the information provided.
Base of the triangle = 6 squares (from column 6 to column 1)
Height of the triangle = 8 squares (from row 2 to row 10)
Area of the triangle = 0.5 x base x height
Area = 0.5 x 6 x 8
Area = 24 square units
Therefore, the correct area of the non-right triangle is 24 square units. Thank you for your patience.
