See the attached figure.
<span>ad is a diameter of the circle with center p
</span>
∵ pd = radius = 7 ⇒⇒⇒ ∴ ad = 2 * radius = 2 * 7 = 14
∵ ae = 4 ⇒⇒⇒ ∴ ed = ad - ae = 14 - 4 = 10
∵ ad is a diameter
Δ acd is a triangle drawn in a half circle
∴ Δ acd is a right triangle at c
∵ bc ⊥ ad at point e
By applying euclid's theorem inside Δ acd
∴ ce² = ae * ed
∴ ce² = 4 * 10 = 40
∴ ce = √40 = 2√10 ≈ 6.325
