In an isosceles right-angled triangle ABC, right-angled at B, the angle bisector of ∠A is AN which cuts the median BO at point M. If point O lies on the hypotenuse such that OM = 20 cm, then find the value of AB.

In an isosceles right-angled triangle ABC, right-angled at B, the angle bisector of ∠A is AN which cuts the median BO at point M. If point O lies on the hypotenuse such that OM = 20 cm, then find the value of AB.
