Circle J has a radius of 6 in. JK and JL form an angle that is not a straight angle. The lenght of KL is not 6 in. Classify ^JKL accordingly to its sides.
To classify triangle JKL according to its sides, we need to determine whether all three sides are equal (equilateral), only two sides are equal (isosceles), or all three sides are different lengths (scalene).
In this case, we are given that the radius of Circle J is 6 inches. Since JK and JL are radii of the same circle, they must also have a length of 6 inches.
However, it is stated that the length of KL is not 6 inches, so we can conclude that all three sides of triangle JKL are of different lengths. Therefore, triangle JKL is classified as a scalene triangle.
To summarize:
Triangle JKL is classified as a scalene triangle because it has three sides of different lengths.
