To find the length of the hypotenuse in a right triangle, you can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

In this case, the two other sides of the right triangle are 6 ft and 8 ft. Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse (h) can be found using the formula: h^2 = 6^2 + 8^2.

Simplifying the equation, we have h^2 = 36 + 64 = 100.

Taking the square root of both sides, we get h = √100.

Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse is h = 10 ft.
