WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST ANSWER KP is a radius of the circle. Is JK tangent to the circle? Note the figure may not be drawn to scale.

JK is NOT tangent to the circle

Step-by-step explanation:

A tangent of a circle is a line that intersects a circle at one and only one point. For this reason, the radius will always intersect a tangent at a 90 degree angle to prove this single point intersection. From the triangle, we can introduce the Pythagorean theorem to see if the triangle is a right triangle:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

48^2 + 14^2 = 36^2

2304 + 196 = 1296

2500 ≠ 1296

As this is not equal, the triangle is not a right triangle and therefore states that the tangent line does not intersect the radius at 90 degrees, meaning that it does not satisfy the requirements of a tangent line.
