### Geometry Problem

**Problem Statement:**

In the circle below, \( AC \cong DF \), \( DE = 8 \), and \( EG = 6 \). What is the length of \( AC \)?

**Illustration Description:**

- The diagram shows a circle with several line segments inside.
- Points A, B, C, D, E, and F are on the circumference of the circle.
- \( AC \) and \( DF \) are cords of the circle and they are equal in length.
- \( DE \) is a straight line from point D to point E, with \( DE = 8 \).
- \( EG = 6 \) is a segment inside the circle forming a right angle at point G with \( DE \).

**Diagram Explanation:**

- The circle is centered around point G.
- There is a right angle formed at point G between line segments \( BE \) and \( EG \).
  
**Solution Requirement:**

Calculate \( AC = ? \)

**Solution Box:**

\( AC = \) [Place your answer here]
