1. **State the problem:** We have a rectangle ABCD with AB = 8 and BC = 6. We need to find the lengths of AD, DC, and AC.
2. **Recall properties of a rectangle:** Opposite sides are equal and all angles are right angles.
3. **Find AD and DC:** Since ABCD is a rectangle,
- AD = BC = 6 (opposite sides are equal)
- DC = AB = 8 (opposite sides are equal)
4. **Find diagonal AC:** Use the Pythagorean theorem for right triangle ABC,
$$AC = \sqrt{AB^2 + BC^2} = \sqrt{8^2 + 6^2} = \sqrt{64 + 36} = \sqrt{100} = 10$$
5. **Final answers:**
- $AD = 6$
- $DC = 8$
- $AC = 10$
