Based on the description provided, Square ABCD is reflected across the x-axis to create Square RSTU. Since RSTU is the result of the reflection, no additional reflection is necessary for RSTU.
However, for the other squares (FGHI, JKLM, and NOPQ), it's likely that a reflection or some other transformation was performed to create their respective orientations from square ABCD.
To determine which specific square requires a reflection to match the original square ABCD's position, we need to consider how the reflection across the x-axis affects the coordinates.
1. The coordinates of the original square ABCD, if they were, for example, \( A(0, 0), B(1, 0), C(1, 1), D(0, 1) \), would reflect to R\( R(0, 0), S(1, 0), T(1, -1), U(0, -1) \).
2. If you consider the squares that result from transformations other than simple reflections, their original positions might differ from a straightforward reflection across the x-axis.
Without the specific coordinates of the squares FGHI, JKLM, and NOPQ or the precise transformations applied to them, it is difficult to determine definitively which requires a reflection.
However, from the context, it seems likely that one of FGHI, JKLM, or NOPQ requires a different type of transformation than what was done to get RSTU from ABCD. If you have the coordinates or any information about their orientation relative to ABCD, it would help narrow down the answer.
If the question is purely based on the reflection performed to produce the figures, the square that would need a reflection relative to RSTU would be the one that appears directly above or below it. Generally, one must compare the positions and orientations of each square to conclude correctly.
In this case, without specific coordinates or knowing the orientations of FGHI, JKLM, and NOPQ relative to ABCD, we can't determine which square needs a reflection without further information. If you're looking at this question as part of a set problem, typically you can identify transformations needed for congruence by looking at their relative placements or visualizing them in terms of their symmetry.
