To determine the length of the hypotenuse, we need a relation that would relate the other legs and the hypotenuse of the triangle. So, we would need to use the Pythagorean theorem which is an equation that relates the hypotenuse with the other legs of a right triangle. It is to be noted that this is only usable for right triangles only. It is expressed as follows:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
where c is the hypotenuse and a, b are the other legs.
c = √(a^2 + b^2)
c = √(6^2 + 8^2)
c = √100
c = 10 m
Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse with the other legs having a length of 6 and 8 would be 10 m.

The right rectangular prism below is made up of 8 cubes each cube has an edge length of 1/2 inch what is the volume of this prism
Volume of a cube = l³
If each cube has an edge length of 1/2 inch, then:
Volume of each cube = 1/2³
Volume of each cube = 1/8
Volume of the prism = 8×1/8
Volume of the prism = 1 in³
