Answer:

ce=7 units

Step-by-step explanation:

In this problem

e is the midpoint of ab

so

ab=ae+eb  and  ae=eb

ab=2ae ------> equation A

c is the midpoint of ae

so

ae=ac+ce  and ac=ce

ae=2ce -----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

ab=2(2ce)

ab=4ce

we have

ab=28 units

substitute

28=4ce

solve for ce

divide by 4 both sides

28/4=ce

Rewrite

ce=7 units
