Answer 1

The length of side JK is wrong

Answer 2

To find the lengths of the sides of triangle JKL with points J(1, 7), K(1, 6), and L(1, 1), we can calculate the distances as follows:

1. **Length of side JK**:
Points J and K have the same x-coordinate (1), so we can find the distance by subtracting their y-coordinates.
Length of JK = |7 - 6| = 1

2. **Length of side LK**:
Points L and K also have the same x-coordinate, so we can find the distance by subtracting their y-coordinates.
Length of LK = |6 - 1| = 5

3. **Length of side JL**:
Points J and L have the same x-coordinate, so we find the distance in a similar way.
Length of JL = |7 - 1| = 6

4. **Perimeter of triangle JKL**:
The perimeter is the sum of all the sides.
Perimeter = JK + LK + JL = 1 + 5 + 6 = **12**

Now we can insert the responses:

- The length of side JK is **1**.
- The length of side LK is **5**.
- The length of side JL is **6**.
- The perimeter of triangle JKL in simplest radical form is **12**.

Answer 3

Apologies for the mistake in my calculation earlier. Let's go through the calculation for side JK step by step:

- Points J and K are given as:
- J(1, 7)
- K(1, 6)

Since both points have the same x-coordinate, the length of side JK can be found by just looking at the difference in their y-coordinates:

\[
\text{Length of JK} = |y_J - y_K| = |7 - 6| = |1| = 1
\]

This calculation is indeed correct. Side JK vertically goes from y = 7 to y = 6, which gives us a length of 1.

If you think there's another way or reason it might be wrong, please clarify or provide more details. Based on the coordinates provided:

The lengths of the sides are:
- The length of side JK is **1**.
- The length of side LK is calculated as above, which is **5**.
- The length of side JL remains **6**.
- The perimeter still sums to **12**.

Please let me know if there's any specific detail you want to address!
