Mountain roads
A circular mountain peak has coordinates (0,0,3) and its base has towns C=(-4,0,0), E=( 4,0,0) on opposite sides. Town D=(0,4,0) is halfway between them, around the base. A road goes partially up and down the mountain connecting C and E. Another road connects C and D. Both roads are shortest possible. What is the ratio of the road lengths?
