Given that $ABCDEFGH\equiv MNOPIJKL$ABCDEFGHMNOPIJKL what side of $MNOPIJKL$MNOPIJKL corresponds to $DE$DE?

Two geometric figures, each consisting of polygons with resembling a step-like structure. The figure on the left is labeled with vertices, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H forming an irregular polygon. The figure on the right is similarly irregular and labeled with vertices M, N, O, P, I, J, K, L. It is rotated relative to the first figure.
