It is true, they are congruent by doing a proof. You have to divide the trapezoid into 2 equal triangles. Then you can prove it. They are congruent since corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent.

Answer is -8</h3>
Work Shown:
y = -(2^x)
y = -(2^3) ... replace x with 3
y = -(2*2*2) ... expand out 2 cubed
y = -8
Answer:
- sum: 3x² -4x -4
- product: (x -2)(3x +2)
Step-by-step explanation:
The areas of four regions are given. We can simply add them to find the sum. To express them as a product, we need to look at common factors.
<h3>Sum</h3>
The total of the given area expressions is ...
3x² +2x -6x -4 = 3x² -4x -4 . . . . sum
<h3>Product</h3>
Extending the table to show common factors of each row and column, we have ...

Since each cell of the table is the product of the corresponding common factors, we can write the area as the product ...
(x -2)(3x +2) . . . . product
