Answer:

The length of the hypotenuse is
$10\ m$

Explanation:

we know that

In a right triangle

Applying the Pythagoras Theorem

c^(2)=a^(2)+b^(2)

where

c is the hypotenuse (the longest side)

a,b are the legs of the triangle

In this problem we have

$a=6\ m$

$b=8\ m$

substitute and solve for c

c^(2)=6^(2)+8^(2)

c^(2)=100

$c=10\ m$
