Answer:

AC =10 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

triangle ABC is a right angled triangle

side opposite to angle B is hypotenuse

so hypotenuse=AC

here AB and BC are other two smaller sides of a triangle.

so according to pythagoras theorem sum of square of two smaller sides of a triangle must equal to the square of hypotenuse.

Let AB=a , BC=b and AC=c(hypotenuse)

[tex]AB^{2}[/tex] + [tex]BC^{2}[/tex] = [tex]AC^{2}[/tex]

[tex]6^{2}[/tex] + [tex]8^{2}[/tex] = [tex]AC^{2}[/tex]

36 + 64 =[tex]AC^{2}[/tex]

100=[tex]AC^{2}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{100[/tex] =AC

10=AC
