Question No: 309

Rectangles $ABCD$ and $EFGH$ are drawn such that $D,E,C,F$ are collinear. Also, $A,D,H,G$ all lie on a circle. If $BC=16$ , $AB=107$ , $FG=17$ , and $EF=184$ , what is the length of $CE$ ?

$[asy] import graph; unitsize(0.1cm); pair A = (0,0);pair B = (70,0);pair C = (70,16);pair D = (0,16);pair E = (3,16);pair F = (90,16);pair G = (90,33);pair H = (3,33); dot(A^^B^^C^^D^^E^^F^^G^^H); label("$A$", A, S);label("$B$", B, S);label("$C$", C, N);label("$D$", D, N);label("$E$", E, S);label("$F$", F, S);label("$G$", G, N);label("$H$", H, N); draw(E--D--A--B--C--E--H--G--F--C); [/asy]$
