Solution 1
Notice that ∠BAD=∠ADC and ∠ABD=∠DCB, which motivates us to find similar triangles. We extend CB and DA to point E. We know that △ABD∼△DCE. Hence ∠ADB=∠DEC, and △BDE is isosceles. Then BD=BE=10.
Using the similarity, we have:
BDAB=108=CECD=16CD⟹CD=564
The answer is m+n=069.

Extension: To Find AD, use Law of Cosines on △BCD to get cos(∠BCD)=2013 Then since ∠BCD=∠ABD use Law of Cosines on △ABD to find AD=215
Solution 2
Draw a line from B, parallel to AD, and let it meet CD at M. Note that △DAB is similar to △BMC by AA similarity, since ∠ABD=∠MCB and since BM is parallel to CD then ∠BMC=∠ADM=∠DAB. Now since ADMB is an isosceles trapezoid, MD=8. By the similarity, we have MC=AB⋅BDBC=8⋅106=524, hence CD=MC+MD=524+8=564⟹64+5=069.
Solution 3
Since ∠BAD=∠ADM, if we extend AB and DC, they must meet at one point to form a isosceles triangle △ADM.Now, since the problem told that ∠ABD=∠BCD, we can imply that ∠DBM=∠BCM Since ∠M=∠M, so △CBM∼△BDM. Assume the length of BM=x;Since MBBC=MDDB we can get x6=8+x10, we get that x=12.So AM=DM=20 similarly, we use the same pair of similar triangle we get BMCM=DMBM, we get that CM=536. Finally, CD=MD−MC=564⟹64+5=69=069 ~bluesoul
Solution 3
Denote ∠BAD=∠CDA=x, and ∠ABD=∠BCD=y. Note that ∠ADB=180∘−x−y, and ∠DBC=360∘−2x−2y. This motivates us to draw the angle bisector of ∠DBC because ∠DBC=2∠ADB, so we do so and consider the intersection with CD as E. By the angle bisector theorem, we have DECE=BDBC=53, so we write CE=3z and DE=5z. We also know that ∠EBC=∠ADB and ∠BCE=∠DBA, so △ADB∼△EBC. Hence, BCCE=BDAB, so we have 3z=524. As CD=8z, it must be that CD=564, so the final answer is 069.
