Answer:
Option B
Step-by-step explanation:
The complete question is attached
As we can see in the image , ABC is a right angle triangle
Thus as per Pythagorean theorem, to find line AB
AB2 = 322 + 242
AB2 = 1024 + 576
AB2 = 1600
Taking square root of both the sides, we get –
AB = √1600
AB = 40
The mid point of AB = AB/2 = 40/2 = 20
