Solution
AB = BC ...(Given)
∴ ∠BAC = 45°
∴ AB = BC = `1/sqrt2` × AC
= `1/sqrt2` × `sqrt8`
= `1/sqrt2` × `2sqrt2`
= 2

Activity: From given figure, In ∆ABC, ∠ABC = 90°, ∠ACB = 30°
∴ ∠BAC = `square`
∴ ∆ABC is 30° – 60° – 90° triangle.
∴ In ∆ABC by property of 30° – 60° – 90° triangle.
∴ AB = `1/2` AC and `square` = `sqrt(3)/2` AC
∴ `square` = `1/2 xx 12` and BC = `sqrt(3)/2 xx 12`
∴ `square` = 6 and BC = `6sqrt(3)`
