The area of Emma’s right triangle is Response area square units.

To determine the area of Emma's right triangle, we'll follow these steps:

1. **Identify the coordinates of the three points** Emma plotted. Let’s assume these points are \( A(x_1, y_1), B(x_2, y_2), \) and \( C(x_3, y_3) \) on the coordinate plane. These points will define the triangle.
   
2. **Check which two sides are perpendicular**, indicating they form a right angle. These two sides will serve as the triangle’s base and height.

3. **Use the formula for the area of a triangle**:

   \[
   \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Base} \times \text{Height}
   \]

Once you know the coordinates, identify the base and height, and substitute them into the area formula.

If you provide the coordinates, I can calculate the exact area of the triangle for you.

Let me know if you want to proceed, or upload the table or diagram, and I’ll solve it.
