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:

$d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$

Using distance formula, we get

$JK=\sqrt{(2-(-3))^2+(6-2)^2}$

$JK=\sqrt{(2+3)^2+(4)^2}$

$JK=\sqrt{(5)^2+(4)^2}$

$JK=\sqrt{25+16}$

$JK=\sqrt{41}$

Similarly,

$KL=\sqrt{\left(8-2\right)^2+\left(-1-6\right)^2}=\sqrt{85}$

$JL=\sqrt{\left(8-\left(-3\right)\right)^2+\left(-1-2\right)^2}=\sqrt{130}$

Now,

$JK^2+KL^2=(\sqrt{41})^2+(\sqrt{85})^2$

JK^2+KL^2=41+85

JK^2+KL^2=126

$JK^2+KL^2\neq JL^2$

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.
