To find the perimeter of a right-angled triangle, we need to calculate the length of the hypotenuse (c) first, as it is the longest side. 

We can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse (c) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides (a and b). 

The formula is: c² = a² + b²

Given values: a = 6, b = 8

c² = 6² + 8²
c² = 36 + 64
c² = 100

Taking the square root of both sides: 
c = √100
c = 10

Now that we have the length of the hypotenuse (c = 10), we can find the perimeter of the triangle by adding the lengths of all three sides: 
Perimeter = a + b + c
Perimeter = 6 + 8 + 10
Perimeter = 24

The perimeter of the right-angled triangle is 24.
