The distance from the point of intersection of the diagonals of the rectangle ABCD to the straight

The distance from the point of intersection of the diagonals of the rectangle ABCD to the straight line AD is 5 cm. Find AB.

The diagonals of a rectangle are always halved by the point of intersection, so the distance from the point of intersection of the diagonals of rectangle ABCD to line AD, on which one of the sides of the rectangle lies, is half the length of side AB.
AB = 5 * 2 = 10 cm.
