Produce AO to D
Now AD becomes perpendicular to BC
As its also median for equilateral
And centre is centroid also
As centroid divides median in 2:1
So OD = 6/2 = 3
AD = 6+3 = 9
Now in ABD
AB^2 = AD^2 + BD^2
BD = (1/2 AB)
AB^2 - BD^2 = AD^2
AB^2 - AB^2/4 = 9^2
AB^2( 3/4) = 81
AB^2 = 81× 4/3 = 27 × 4
AB= 2× 3√3 = 6√3
