Answer:

CE = AD/2

Step-by-step explanation:

C is the center of small circle

  • Point E is on same circle, therefore CE = radius of small circle
  • AD passes through the center of small circle and both points are on same circle, therefore AD is diameter of small circle

Since diameter is double of radius:

  • AD = d, CE= r
  • d = 2r
  • AD = 2*CE or CE = AD/2
