![## Geometry Problem
### Problem Statement:
A geometric configuration is shown where a circle is intersected by a line. The line extends from point \(A\) to point \(B\). Here are the key features of the diagram:
### Diagram Explanation:
- **Circle Center and Radius**:
- Center of the circle is labeled as point \(C\).
- The line segment \(CB\) represents the radius of the circle and is 8 cm in length.
- **Points and Line Segments**:
- Point \(B\) lies on the circumference of the circle and is also on the line extending from \(A\) to \(B\).
- Point \(F\) lies on the line segment between points \(A\) and \(B\).
- The length of line segment \(AB\) is 15 cm.
- **Other Notations**:
- The green circle clearly indicates the given radius \(CB=8 \text{ cm}\).
- The points on the diagram are labeled in red for easy identification.
### Calculation:
Given:
- \( CB = 8 \text{ cm} \) (Radius of the circle)
- \( AB = 15 \text{ cm} \)
We need to determine the length of \(\overline{FA}\).
#### Required Answer:
\[
\overline{FA} = \boxed{}
\]
(Note: Additional information or known geometric relationships might be necessary to solve for the length of \(\overline{FA}\). The student should use the properties of the circle and any intersecting lines, potentially leveraging the power of point theorem or Pythagorean theorem based on additional context not provided directly in the image.)](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F251d803b-062a-485c-ac85-18fab7c31e4e%2F5e2cd7f1-6b60-4edd-af31-71434cc702be%2F2klqj_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
