Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem asks to name a segment whose length is the same as segment .
Explanation:
Given the points are the images of the 100-degree rotations of points respectively around point , and we see that and :
-
Rotations preserve the distance from the center of rotation. This means that for any point and its rotated image, the distance to the center remains the same.
-
Therefore, the segment should have the same length as , should have the same length as , and should have the same length as .
Conclusion:
The segment whose length is the same as is .

- How would the problem change if the rotation was about a different point instead of point ?
Tip: When dealing with rotations, always remember that they preserve the distances between the center of rotation and any point on the figure.
