Question
- the quadrilateral math was rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise followed by a translation to produce the quadrilateral math. click in the table below to show which side lengths are equal to the lengths of the given line segments. line segment ma a b c d line segment at line segment th line segment hm
Step1: Recall Transformations Properties
Rotations and translations are rigid transformations. Rigid transformations preserve the length of line segments. So, after a 90° counterclockwise rotation and a translation, the length of each side of quadrilateral MATH will be equal to the length of the corresponding side of quadrilateral M'A'T'H'.
Step2: Match Corresponding Segments
- For line segment MA: Find the corresponding segment in M'A'T'H' (which is M'A') and match it to the equal - length segment in the red quadrilateral.
- For line segment AT: The corresponding segment is A'T', so find the equal - length segment in the red quadrilateral.
- For line segment TH: The corresponding segment is T'H', so find the equal - length segment in the red quadrilateral.
- For line segment HM: The corresponding segment is H'M', so find the equal - length segment in the red quadrilateral.
Assuming the red quadrilateral has sides a, b, c, d:
- Line segment MA should be equal in length to the side of the red quadrilateral that corresponds to M'A' (let's say if MA corresponds to side c, then we mark c for MA).
- Line segment AT should be equal in length to the side corresponding to A'T' (say side d, mark d for AT).
- Line segment TH should be equal in length to the side corresponding to T'H' (say side a, mark a for TH).
- Line segment HM should be equal in length to the side corresponding to H'M' (say side b, mark b for HM).
(Note: The actual matching depends on the precise coordinates of the vertices, but the key is using the property of rigid transformations preserving length.)

The table should be filled as follows (assuming the above - mentioned correspondences, actual values depend on vertex coordinates):
| Line segment MA | c |
|---|---|
| Line segment TH | a |
| Line segment HM | b |
(The specific letters may vary based on the exact length matching from the graphs, but the principle is rigid transformations preserve side lengths.)
