First, we know that \(DB =DC = \sqrt{9^2 - 3^2} = 6\sqrt{2}\), which means \(CB = 12 \sqrt 2\)
Also, note that \(\triangle CEB \sim \triangle ADB\) by AAA. This is because both triangles have a right angle and share \(\angle B\), which means that all 3 traingles have the same angles, and thus, are similar.
Now, by similiar triangles, we have \({AB \over CB} = {AD \over CE}\). Substituting what we know, we have \({9 \over 12 \sqrt 2} = {3 \over CE}\), meaning \(CE = \color{brown}\boxed{4 \sqrt2}\).
To solve for AE, we use the Pythagorean Theorem on \(\triangle AEC\), and find that \(AE = \sqrt{9^2 - {4\sqrt2}^2} = \color{brown}\boxed{7}\)
