The length is the squared difference in the x s + same in y s, added, and then the sqrt of the sum. Unlike slope calculation, one can go in either direction calculating the difference because of the squaring.
JK has length sqrt(36+49)=sqrt(85)
LM has length sqrt(9+81) or sqrt (90)
They are not congruent.
