### Problem Statement

O is the center of the given circle. Given that \( AB = 6 \), \( BC = 8 \), and \( AE = 15 \), find:
- A) \( AD \)
- B) \( DE \)

### Diagram Explanation

The diagram illustrates a circle with center \( O \). The circle has the following points labeled on it:
- \( A \), \( B \), \( C \), \( D \), \( E \), and \( F \).

Line segments outside the circle and their measurements are as follows:

- \( AB = 6 \)
- \( BC = 8 \)
- The total length from \( A \) to \( E \) along the line extending from \( A \) is \( 15 \).

Inside the circle:
- \( D \) is a point on the line segment \( AE \) that extends from the circle.
  
Use the given lengths to calculate the required distances \( AD \) and \( DE \).
