To find the length of ab, we first need to find the length of segment ac using the Pythagorean theorem.
ac^2 = oa^2 - oc^2
ac^2 = 32^2 - 12^2
ac^2 = 1024 - 144
ac^2 = 880
ac = √880
ac ≈ 29.7
Now, since ac divides ab into two equal parts in the right angle triangle, the length of ab is twice the length of ac.
ab = 2 * ac
ab = 2 * 29.7
ab ≈ 59.3
Therefore, the length of ab is approximately 59.3.
