I'll leave the sketch with you okay, & hopefully we can follow together:
We find first the
where, , &
So,

Now , next is interesting in finding CE?
We first get by trigo function of right triangle. How?
Since AD split the base(BC) in to half, right? Same as .
That forms a right triangle (ADB).

.
Now we know line CE(?) cuts line AB into half:, right?
That forms a triangle and we'll use Cosine Law in getting line CE.

where ---
Continuing,

Thank you,
Jojo
