From the given figure, the following was observed:

a.) Distance from A to D and D to C is equal.

b.) Distance from B to E and E to C is equal.

Therefore, we can conclude that DE is a midsegment.

The midsegment of a triangle is half the measurement of the base.

$\text{ Midsegment = }(1)/(2)\text{ x Triangle Base}$

We get,

$\text{ Midsegment = }(1)/(2)\text{ x 48 = }(48)/(2)$
$\text{ Midsegment = 24 cm}$

The midsegment is 24 cm.

The answer is CHOICE B.
