Answer:

B) 29

Explanation:

Given:

AC= 58

Point D and E are the midpoints of side AB and BC Respectively.

Solution:

According to Midpoint theorem which states:

"The segment joining two sides of a triangle at the midpoints of those sides is parallel to the third side and is half the length of the third side."


\therefore DE=
(1)/(2) AC

DE=
(58)/(2) =29

Hence length of DE is 29.
