If AB || DC, you must be British, and this is the figure an American would call a trapezoid. In American usage, a trapezium would be a quadrilateral with no parallel sides.
There are other problems with your description, and I don't think the figure can be as you've described. If the figure is ABCD, then BD and AC are diagonals, not edges. WIth the right angle (perpendicular) requirement, you have AB as the hypotenuse of two right triangles, ADB and ACB. However, you have AD and CB, legs of the triangles, as having the same length as AB, the hypotenuse, and this is impossible.

You said:
AC Perpendicular BC
AB=25cm
BC=25cm.
This describes a right triangle whose hypotenuse is equal to one of the other sides. Not gonna happen.

question is wrong
AB cannot be 25cm, it violates geometry!
Check your question.
