Answer:

2nd option

Step-by-step explanation:

If AB  is a tangent to the circle then ∠ B is right angle

Using the converse of Pythagoras' identity.

If the square of the longest side is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides, then the triangle is right

longest side = 52 and 52² = 2704

48² + (10 + 10)² = 48² + 20² = 2304 + 400 = 2704

Then AB  is a tangent to the circle since ∠ B is a right angle
