AC is the hypotenuse of the right angled triangle and AC=50. now slope of AC =4/3 i.e tan θ = 4/3 where θ = ∠ACE E is a point BC extended.
now since tan θ = 4/3 so sec θ = 5/3 using identity sec^2 + tan^2 =1
so cos θ= 3/5 and therefore sin θ= 4/5 and sin θ= sin(180- θ) so we get the ratio of AB/AC which is 4/5 and AC=50. So Ab=40.
now since tan θ = 4/3 so sec θ = 5/3 using identity sec^2 + tan^2 =1
so cos θ= 3/5 and therefore sin θ= 4/5 and sin θ= sin(180- θ) so we get the ratio of AB/AC which is 4/5 and AC=50. So Ab=40.

Slope = Change in Vertical Direction/Change in Horizontal Direction = 4/3
Change in Vertical Direction = 4x = AB
Change in Horizontal Direction = 3x = BC
AB^2 + BC^2 = 50^2
16x^2 + 9x^2 = 2500
25x^2 = 2500
x^2 = 100
x = 10
Therefore AB = 10*4 = 40
Answer: E
Change in Vertical Direction = 4x = AB
Change in Horizontal Direction = 3x = BC
AB^2 + BC^2 = 50^2
16x^2 + 9x^2 = 2500
25x^2 = 2500
x^2 = 100
x = 10
Therefore AB = 10*4 = 40
Answer: E
