Answer:

NO.

Step-by-step explanation:

In geometry, two figures or objects are congruent if they have the same shape and size, or if one has the same shape and size as the mirror image of the other. So, in other words, 2 shapes or figures in geometry are congruent if they have the exact same size and shape.

A rectangle has 2 pairs of parallel sides. One pair is longer than the other pair. Therefore, to be congruent, all sides have to be equal, which is a square, not a rectangle. So the answer is NO.

Answer: $\sqrt[5]{y}$

I realize its probably not the largest readable font. If you are having trouble reading it, it is the square root of y; however, there is a tiny little 5 in the upper left corner to indicate a fifth root. So you would read it out as "the fifth root of y"

The rule I'm using is

$x^{1/n} = \sqrt[n]{x}$
