Product Property of Square Roots: Using additional geometric shapes

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

• Step 1: Use the Pythagorean theorem to find $AB$.
• Step 2: Calculate the perimeter of the rectangle $ABCD$.

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: For triangle $ACD$, where $AC = 8$ and $AD = 4$, apply the Pythagorean theorem:

Step 2: The perimeter of rectangle $ABCD$ is given by:

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $8 + 16\sqrt{3}$.

We know that:

$\frac{AB}{BC}=\sqrt{\frac{x}{2}}$

We also know that AB equals X.

First, we will substitute the given data into the formula accordingly:

$\frac{x}{BC}=\frac{\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{2}}$

$x\sqrt{2}=BC\sqrt{x}$

$\frac{x\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{x}}=BC$

$\frac{\sqrt{x}\times\sqrt{x}\times\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{x}}=BC$

$\sqrt{x}\times\sqrt{2}=BC$

Now let's look at triangle ABC and use the Pythagorean theorem:

$AB^2+BC^2=AC^2$

We substitute in our known values:

$x^2+(\sqrt{x}\times\sqrt{2})^2=m^2$

$x^2+x\times2=m^2$

Finally, we will add 1 to both sides:

$x^2+2x+1=m^2+1$

$(x+1)^2=m^2+1$

Let's find side BC

Based on what we're given:

$\frac{AB}{BC}=\frac{x}{BC}=\sqrt{\frac{x}{2}}$

$\frac{x}{BC}=\frac{\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{2}}$

$\sqrt{2}x=\sqrt{x}BC$

Let's divide by square root x:

$\frac{\sqrt{2}\times x}{\sqrt{x}}=BC$

$\frac{\sqrt{2}\times\sqrt{x}\times\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{x}}=BC$

Let's reduce the numerator and denominator by square root x:

$\sqrt{2}\sqrt{x}=BC$

We'll use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the area of triangle ABC:

$AB^2+BC^2=AC^2$

Let's substitute what we're given:

$x^2+(\sqrt{2}\sqrt{x})^2=m^2$

$x^2+2x=m^2$
