Join \*EF\* and complete the rectangle \*EFCD\*. Draw the diagonal \*EC\* cutting \*AB\* at \*P\*. Then \*PB\* will be the breadth of the transformed rectangle. Through \*P\* draw the straight line \*HPG\* parallel to \*ED\* or \*FC\*. Then \*HFCG\* is the rectangle which is equivalent to the square \*ABCD\* and whose side \*CF\* is equal to the given length \*M\*.
