Does this represent a liner function

Lindsay is creating a bridge out of dried pasta and glue. in her plans, she sketches the graph to determine the lengths of the noodles, in centimeters, needed for the arch to increase the length of the bridge in 1 centimeter increments.which function did lindsay use to create her design? f(x) = (x – 5)2 + 8 f(x) = –(x + 5)2 + 8 f(x) = 0.5(x + 5)2 + 8 f(x) = –0.5(x – 5)2 + 8

If angle 2=3x +1 and angle 3=2x +4what is angle 2

Aladder that is 20ft long is leaning against the side of a building. if the angle formed between the ladder and the ground is 75 degrees how far is the bottom of the from the base of the building?
