1. **Stating the problem:**
We need to find a sequence of rigid transformations and dilations that takes square EFGH to square ABCD.
2. **Understanding the problem:**
Rigid transformations include translations, rotations, and reflections that preserve shape and size.
Dilations change the size but preserve shape.
3. **Given:**
- Square ABCD with side length 5.
- Square EFGH (not explicitly given side length, but assumed congruent or similar).
4. **Step-by-step solution:**
1. **Translation:** Move square EFGH so that one vertex, say E, coincides with vertex A of square ABCD.
2. **Rotation:** Rotate the translated square around point A so that side EF aligns with side AB.
3. **Dilation:** If the side length of EFGH is not 5, apply a dilation centered at A with scale factor $$k = \frac{5}{\text{side length of EFGH}}$$ to resize EFGH to match ABCD.
4. **Reflection (if needed):** If after dilation and rotation the square is not oriented the same way, reflect it across the appropriate axis through A.
5. **Summary:**
The sequence is: translate EFGH to A, rotate to align sides, dilate to scale side length to 5, and reflect if necessary.
This sequence transforms square EFGH exactly onto square ABCD.
**Note:** Without explicit coordinates or side length of EFGH, the exact numeric dilation factor cannot be computed here.
