If the physical Sleep/Wake (Power) button is broken, your iPad will require repair - as, sooner or later, you will encounter a problem from which you cannot recover without this button being fully functional.


However, if the iPad is otherwise fully functional, you can power-on your iPad simply by connecting the iPad to its Power Adapter. As soon as external power is applied, if the battery has some level of charge, the iPad should simply power-on or restart.
