C Correct answer
Explanation

The sides are 6 and 8. The hypotenuse = sqrt(6^2 + 8^2) = sqrt(36 + 64) = 10. Perimeter = 6 + 8 + 10 = 24.

AI explanation

Using the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse is calculated as the square root of 6 squared plus 8 squared, which equals 10 cm. The perimeter is the sum of all three sides: 6 cm + 8 cm + 10 cm = 24 cm. The perimeter is 24 cm.
