To find the length of the crease, we can imagine unfolding the paper and drawing a straight line segment connecting points A and B.
Since the paper is in the shape of a right triangle, with sides measuring 6 cm, 8 cm, and 10 cm, we know that angle ABC is a right angle.
To find the length of the crease, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where a and b are the lengths of the two shorter sides (6 cm and 8 cm in this case), and c is the length of the hypotenuse (the crease).
Plugging in the values, we have:
6^2 + 8^2 = c^2
36 + 64 = c^2
100 = c^2
Taking the square root of both sides, we have:
c = √100 = 10
Therefore, the length of the crease is 10 cm.
