Identify the geometric components of Circle A

\[

$$\begin{aligned} &\text{Center of the circle: } A \\ &\text{Points on the circle: } B, C, D, E \\ &\text{Radii of the circle: } AD, AB, AC, AE \end{aligned}$$

\]

Apply the definition of a circle's radius

\[

$$\begin{aligned} &AD = AB = AC = AE = r \\ &AD = 8 \implies r = 8 \end{aligned}$$

\]

Determine the length of segment AB

\[
AB = 8
\]
</reasoning>

<answer>
8
