Answer:

AB = 1.4 or 7/5

Explanation:

(Excuse my rambling but I wanted to be sure of myself)

AD = 2(5/2) = 5

AD is a diameter.

any triangle in a circle with the hypotenuse as the diameter is a right triangle.

Draw a line from point A to point C.

ΔACD is a right triangle.

Solve for ∠CAD:

sin CAD = 3/5 = 0.6000

∠CAD = 36.87°

arc CD = 2 x 36.87° = 73.74°

arc BC = arc CD = 73.74°

arc DB = 147.48°

∠BAD = 1/2 (147.48°) = 73.74°

draw a line from point D to point B

ΔBAD is a right triangle.

cos 73.74° = AB/5

AB = 1.4

1.4 because if you do your math it gives you a sum of 1.4
