## Geometry Problem: Finding the Length CE

### Problem Statement:
Given the following circle diagram, determine the length of line segment CE.

### Diagram Description:
- The diagram features a circle with several points and lines.
- Point \(B\) is at the top of the circle, and a line segment extends vertically downward from \(B\) to point \(D\), which lies on the horizontal diameter of the circle.
- The length of line segment \(BD\) is labeled as 20 inches.
- Points \(C\) and \(E\) are marked on the circle's circumference, such that point \(C\) is to the left of \(D\) and point \(E\) is to the right of \(D\).
- The line segments \(CD\) and \(DE\) are horizontal.
- Line segment \(DE\) has a labeled length of 5 inches.
  
### Given:
- \(BD = 20\) inches
- \(DE = 5\) inches

### Objective:
Find the length of line segment \(CE\).
