Line EA and line EC are common external tangents of circle G and circle B. Line AF=55, line DG=9, and line EG=41.

What is the measure of line CE?

Lol, sorry, i messed up the lines xD But yeah.. Probably not something you want to hear from someone who's helping you

So we have the measurement of AF (55) we have the measurements of EG (41) and DG (9)

In tan, you're looking for the hypotenuse

$$AF + hypotenuse = EC$$

You understand why?
