Answer:
Hence the length of AB is 5√2cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given AB=AD,A=90°=C,BC=8 cm and CD=6 cm
BCD is a right triangle.

[Pythagoras theorem]
BD

=64+36
BD

=100
Taking square root on both sides,
BD=10cm
ABD is a right triangle.

[∵AB=AD]
100=2AB

=100/2
AB

=50
Taking square root on both sides,
AB=√50
AB=√(2×25)
AB=5√2cm
Hence the length of AB is 5√2cm.
