Answer:

We can use trigonometry to find AB.

First, we can use the fact that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180° to find angle A:

A + B + C = 180°

A + 90° + 30° = 180°

A = 60°

Now, we can use the sine function to find AB:

sin A = opposite/hypotenuse

sin 60° = AB/96

AB = 96 * sin 60°

AB = 96 * √3/2

AB = 48√3

Therefore, AB is approximately 83.14 cm (rounded to two decimal places).
