Help me find the exact value of each variable that represents a side length in a right triangle

Aflagpole broke in a storm. it was originally 8 1 81 feet tall. 2 8 28 feet are still sticking straight out of the ground, where it snapped, but the remaining piece has hinged over and touches the ground some distance away. how far away is the end of the pole from the base of the pole along the ground?

Given the diagram below, michael writes, "segment ac is congruent to segment ac." which of the following reasons allow him to write this statement?

The construction of copying qpr is started below. the next step is to set the width of the compass to the length of ab. how does this step ensure that a new angle will be congruent to the original angle? by using compass take the measures of angle and draw the same arc according to it.
