Answer 4

@priyar

Answer 5

j is just a point, but the congruent leg must be a line segment right?

Answer 6

idk what that would be? @priyar

Answer 7

i am not too sure but it must be JL or KL.
find all the coordinates by looking at the pic and then calculate distance using distance formula.

Answer 8

@priyar

Answer 9

Is it?

Answer 10

did you do the first step?

Answer 11

I don't really know, I have 20 mins left :/

Answer 12

Im not really sure but you can see L is right in the middle of k so maybe 3

Answer 13

J(2,4) L(5,1) K(2,-2) agreed?

Answer 14

yes @priyar

Answer 15

good. Length of KL = Length of JL that is why these both are called "congruent legs"
congruent means "same". Now,
Length of KL = Length of JL =?

Answer 16

choose either JL or KL and find the distance between the points using the formula we discussed!

Answer 17

Is the answer one of the / choices btw?

Answer 18

of course yes

Answer 19

18 ! (If I'm wrong I'll never forgive myself)

Answer 20

Answer 21

i think you forgot that the whole formula was under root!

Answer 22

It was /18 but no one helped me so I failed ...

Answer 23

i didn't get you

Answer 24

root 18 is the correct answer! option b is correct! you were close!

Answer 25

@winsteria you deserve a medal!

Answer 26

I put root 18 and I had other questions that no one helped me with so that's why I failed
