Answer:

AC = 10 units

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture attached,

Triangle ABC is a right triangle.

Opposite side of the right angle B = Hypotenuse (AC)

and the other two legs are AB and BC

Pythagoras Theorem states

(hypotenuse)² = (leg 1)² + (leg 2)²

AC² = AB² + BC²

AC² = (6)² + (8)²

AC² = 36 + 64

AC² = 100

AC = √100

AC = 10

Therefore, length of the hypotenuse (AC) = 10 units will be the answer.
