Is this correct? ILL MARK YOU BRAINIEST
2 answers:
This is correct.
Since every operation in this is multiplication, you can remove the parentheses. This is the associative property of multiplication. Now you can group the exponents and the normal factors together.
So the answer you put is correct. But, if your test is online and has a dumb grading system (like edulastic) I suggest you put 3.0 instead of 3.

<h3>Proof:</h3>
Refer to the attached figure.
There are a couple of ways you can go at this. One is to show the sums of the marked angles are the same, hence ∠B ≅ ∠D. Instead, we're going to show that ΔABD ≅ ΔCDB, hence ∠A ≅ ∠C.
1. AB║DC and BC║AD . . . . given
2. BD is a transversal to both AB║DC and BC║AD . . . . given
3. ∠CBD ≅ ∠ADB . . . . alternate interior angles where a transversal crosses parallel lines are congruent
4. ∠CDB ≅ ∠ABD . . . . alternate interior angles where a transversal crosses parallel lines are congruent
5. BD ≅ BD . . . . reflexive property of congruence
6. ΔABD ≅ ΔCDB . . . . ASA postulate
7. ∠A ≅ ∠C . . . . CPCTC
∠A and ∠C are opposite angles of parallelogram ABCD, so we have shown what you want to have shown.
