The three sides of a right-angled triangle follow the Pythagoras theorem, i.e

$\text{Hypothenus}^2=opposite^2+adjacent^2$

From the given triangle,

$\begin{gathered} \text{opposite = 6} \\ \text{adjacent = 8} \\ \text{hypothenus = ?} \end{gathered}$

Using the theorem, we can obtain the length of the missing side:

$\begin{gathered} \text{Hypothenus}^2=6^2+8^2 \\ \text{Hypothenus =}\sqrt[]{100} \\ =\text{ 10} \end{gathered}$

The correct option is D
