Draw that exactly as you describe. There will be a point on line AB toward the right, and on the line DE downward at which lines AB and DE intersect. Call this point, R. You now have a triangle ARE (using the points, A, R, and E) and it is a Right triangle with angle at R being 90 degrees.
See that length AR is 8+16, and length ER is 12+6.
The length AE is the hypotenuse of this triangle. Use Pythagorean Theorem.
, and find AE.
AR = 24, and ER = 18
