Answer:
The polynomial function
To determine the multiplicity of 0, -2, -4, 5.
The multiplicity of a root is the number of times the root appears.
First find the root of the equation, set the function equals to zero.
therefore, the root of this function are, x=0,-2, -4, 5
To find the multiplicity of the roots:
A factor of x would have a root at x=0 with multiplicity of 1
similarly, x=-2 with multiplicity of 3
x=-4 with multiplicity of 2
x=5 with multiplicity of 4.

I will attached the picture of what you are talking about here. The answer for this problem is: Yes, that they are congruent by SAS. Meaning that the triangles are congruent if their included angles and any pair of corresponding sides are equal in both triangles. In this case, the sides are both 21 cm and this will make the angle equal for both triangles, so that is why they are congruent.
