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 8 and the right of column 1. The third vertex is at the top of row 10 and right of column 10.
What is the area of the non-right triangle? The base and height are found by counting the squares.
(1 point)
The base of the triangle is 9 units, as it covers from column 1 to column 10 horizontally.
The height of the triangle is 3 units, as it covers from row 2 to row 10 vertically.
Therefore, the area of the triangle is (1/2) x base x height = (1/2) x 9 x 3 = 13.5 square units.
are you sure
I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. Let me recalculate the area of the triangle.
The base of the triangle is 10 units (from column 1 to column 10) and the height of the triangle is 8 units (from row 2 to row 10).
The area of the triangle is (1/2) x base x height = (1/2) x 10 x 8 = 40 square units.
Therefore, the correct area of the non-right triangle is 40 square units.
i dont think so
My apologies for the confusion. Let's reevaluate the area calculation:
The base of the triangle is 4 units (from column 6 to column 10) and the height of the triangle is 8 units (from row 2 to row 10).
The area of the triangle is (1/2) x base x height = (1/2) x 4 x 8 = 16 square units.
Therefore, the correct area of the non-right triangle is 16 square units. Thank you for your patience.
what is the real answer
I apologize for the errors in my previous responses. Let's determine the correct area of the non-right triangle:
The base of the triangle is 6 units (from column 6 to column 1) and the height of the triangle is 8 units (from row 2 to row 10).
The area of the triangle is (1/2) x base x height = (1/2) x 6 x 8 = 24 square units.
Therefore, the correct area of the non-right triangle is 24 square units. Thank you for your patience, and I appreciate your understanding.
i thought the answer was 31.5
Apologies for the confusion in my previous responses.
Let's reassess the area calculation:
The base of the triangle is 6 units (from column 6 to column 1) and the height of the triangle is 8 units (from row 2 to row 10).
The area of the triangle is (1/2) x base x height = (1/2) x 6 x 8 = 24 square units.
Therefore, the correct area of the non-right triangle is indeed 24 square units. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
