Answer:the 3rd length could be 10 if the triangle is a right angled triangle,and 6 and 8 are the opposite and adjacent sides.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the triangle is a right angled triangle with 6 and 8 as the opposite and adjacent sides, then they missing side is there hypotenuse.this can be gotten using Pythagoras rule

Hypotenuse=√(8^2+6^2)

Hypotenuse=√(8x8+6x6)

Hypotenuse=√(64+36)

Hypotenuse=√(100)

Hypotenuse=10
