Answer:
- 13 ft
- (a) 1 second; (b) t = 0, t = 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
<h3>1. </h3>
Let w represent the length of the wire. Then the height of attachment is (w-1). The Pythagorean theorem tells us a relevant relation is ...
5² +(w -1)² = w²
w² -2w +26 = w² . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses, collect terms
26 = 2w . . . . . . . . . . . . add 2w
13 = w . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2
The length of the wire is 13 feet.

<h3>2. </h3>
(a) When h = 0, the equation is ...
0 = -16t^2 +8t +8
Dividing by -8 puts this into standard form:
2t^2 -t -1 = 0
Factoring, we get ...
(2t +1)(t -1) = 0
The positive value of t that makes a factor zero is t = 1.
It will take 1 second for the gymnast to reach the ground.
__
(b) When h = 8, the equation is ...
8 = -16t^2 +8t +8
Subtract 8 and divide by 8 to get ...
0 = -2t^2 +t
0 = t(1 -2t) . . . . factor out t
Values of t that make the factors zero are ...
t = 0
t = 1/2
The gymnast will be 8 feet above the ground at the start of the dismount, and 1/2 second later.

Answer:
Angles 2 and 3 are supplementary to each other
Step-by-step explanation:
A supplementary angle is 2 angles that when you add the sum is 180.

Answer:
angle 1 and angle 3 are congruent
Step-by-step explanation:
Angles supplementary to the same angle are congruent. Here both angles 1 and 3 are supplementary to angle 2, so angles 1 and 3 are congruent.
_____
If you like, you can get there algebraically:
m∠1 + m∠2 = 180
m∠3 + m∠2 = 180
Subtract the second equation from the first:
(m∠1 + m∠2) - (m∠3 + m∠2) = (180) - (180)
m∠1 -m∠3 = 0 . . . . simplify
m∠1 = m∠3 . . . . . . add m∠3
When angle measures are the same, the angles are congruent.
∠1 ≅ ∠3
