To determine the length of CE, we need more context about the relationship between the points A, B, C, and E. However, based on the given lengths (AB and BC), it seems we may be looking at a geometric figure or a specific condition such as a line or triangle.

Given that AB = 12 units and BC = 16 units, if we assume that A, B, C, and E are collinear and that E follows C, we can find CE as follows:

  1. If point A is at 0, then point B would be at 12 (since AB = 12).
  2. Point C would be at B + BC = 12 + 16 = 28.
  3. If CE is a continuation in the same line and we are simply looking for the distance from C to E, without any additional information, we can't determine CE directly from AB and BC alone.

Thus, without additional information about how CE relates to AB and BC or any other constraints, we cannot provide a reliable answer.

If we assume CE = 20, it might be assuming some specific conditions about the points or a diagram that we do not have.

Could you provide more context or clarify the geometric arrangement of these points?
