Find the measures of the sides of triangle JKL, then classify it by its sides J(-3, 2), K(2,6), L(8, -1)

Given:

The vertices of the triangle JKL are J(-3, 2), K(2,6), L(8, -1).

To find:

The measures of the sides of triangle JKL and classify it by its sides.

Solution:

Distance formula:

Using distance formula, we get

Similarly,

Now,

Since, measure of all sides are different and sum of squares of two smaller sides is not equal to the square of largest side, therefore the triangle is scalene triangle.

x = 17

step-by-step explanation:

1st step: isolate x.

24 - 3x = -27

-24         -24

-3x   =   -51

2nd step: divide.

-3x     =   -51

  3             3

  x       =     17

hope this

other answer is correct. i had used the radius of the radius somehow. a website:
