The exercise in the image involves comparing two polygons using a procedure of complementation. Here’s an overview of what the task is asking:

### Instructions Summary:
- **Goal**: Compare the areas of two polygons (Polígono 1 and Polígono 2).
- **Procedure**: 
   - Complete one of the polygons as a geometric figure, such as a square or rectangle (Figure 1).
   - Then complete the second polygon using pieces that fit the first polygon.
   - After comparing the total areas, determine if the polygons are equivalent by complementation.

### Task:
- **Polígono 1** and **Polígono 2** are shown at the left side.
- You are asked to determine if these two polygons have the same area by using the complementation method shown in **Figura 1** and **Figura 2**.
  - **Figura 1** shows a polygon inside a square grid of 1 cm² per grid cell.
  - **Figura 2** shows how the pieces from **Figura 1** can be reassembled to fill a square.

To solve this:
1. Calculate the area of both polygons by counting the grid squares they occupy or use a geometric approach.
2. Verify if the reassembled polygons in the squares of **Figura 2** demonstrate the same total area.

Would you like to proceed with a step-by-step breakdown of how to calculate the areas and compare them? 

Here are some related questions to deepen your understanding:
1. How do you calculate the area of irregular polygons using a grid?
2. What is the complementation method in geometry?
3. How does rearranging shapes into a square help verify area equivalence?
4. Could this technique work with any pair of polygons?
5. What are other methods to compare areas of irregular shapes?

**Tip**: Always count partial squares as fractions when calculating areas with grids!

The user submitted an image of a math problem involving polygons and area comparison. The task is to determine if two polygons (Polígono 1 and Polígono 2) have the same area using the method of complementation shown in two figures. The polygons are reassembled into squares for comparison.

This problem involves comparing the areas of two polygons by using the complementation method, where one polygon is completed and then compared to another. Suitable for students in Grades 6-8, it involves counting grid squares and verifying area equivalence through reassembly into geometric shapes.
