Question

directions: find the measures of the sides of $\triangle jkl$, then classify it by its sides.

  1. $j(-7,-7),k(-9,1),l(-1,-1)$
  2. $j(-3,2),k(2,6),l(8,-1)$
  3. $j(1,-13),k(3,3),l(10,-6)$
  4. $j(7,-2),k(-4,9),l(-3,-1)$

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the length of \(JK\)

Use the distance formula \(d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2+(y_2 - y_1)^2}\).
For \(J(-3,2)\) and \(K(2,6)\), \(x_1=-3,y_1 = 2,x_2=2,y_2=6\)

$$ LATEXBLOCK0 $$

Step2: Calculate the length of \(KL\)

For \(K(2,6)\) and \(L(8,-1)\), \(x_1=2,y_1 = 6,x_2=8,y_2=-1\)

$$ LATEXBLOCK1 $$

Step3: Calculate the length of \(JL\)

For \(J(-3,2)\) and \(L(8,-1)\), \(x_1=-3,y_1 = 2,x_2=8,y_2=-1\)

$$ LATEXBLOCK2 $$

Since \(JK=\sqrt{41}\), \(KL=\sqrt{85}\), \(JL=\sqrt{130}\) and all sides are of different lengths.

Answer:

Side Measures: \(JK=\sqrt{41}\), \(KL=\sqrt{85}\), \(JL=\sqrt{130}\); Type of Triangle: Scalene triangle
