Can you make any shortcut for this question
To solve this problem we need to know the equivalence between yards and inches, that is:
1 yd = 36 inches
Therefore in 8 yd we have:
8(36) = 288
so in 8 yd we have 288 inches
So 8 yd is equal to 288 in
If AC=BD, than Quad ABCD is a rectangle
AC
√(3+3)²+(6-1)²
√6²+5²
√36+25
√61
BD
√(1+1)²+(2-7)²
√2²+(-5)²
√4+25
√29
Quad ABCD is not a rectangle because √61 and √29 are not equal.
<h2>Steps:</h2>
So for this, we will be completing the square to solve for m. Firstly, subtract 8 on both sides:

Next, divide both sides by 2:

Next, we want to make the left side of the equation a perfect square. To find the constant of this perfect square, divide the m coefficient by 2, then square the quotient. In this case:
-8 ÷ 2 = -4, (-4)² = 16
Add 16 to both sides of the equation:

Next, factor the left side:

Next, square root both sides of the equation:

Next, add 4 to both sides of the equation:

Now, while this is your answer, you can further simplify the radical using the product rule of radicals:
- Product rule of radicals: √ab = √a × √b
√12 = √4 × √3 = 2√3.
