The image shows a right triangle with sides labeled as follows:

- One leg: \( 6 \, \text{in} \)
- Another leg: \( 8 \, \text{in} \)
- The hypotenuse: \( 10 \, \text{in} \)

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of all its sides. For this triangle, the perimeter \( P \) is:

\[
P = 6 \, \text{in} + 8 \, \text{in} + 10 \, \text{in} = 24 \, \text{in}
\]

So, the perimeter of the tile is \( \boxed{24} \, \text{in} \).

Here are 5 related questions to expand on this:
1. How do you find the area of a right triangle with given side lengths?
2. What is the Pythagorean theorem, and how does it apply here?
3. Can you find the perimeter of an equilateral triangle with sides of 6 inches?
4. How would the perimeter change if one of the sides was increased by 2 inches?
5. Can the hypotenuse ever be smaller than one of the legs in a right triangle?

**Tip:** The perimeter is simply the total length around a figure, and for polygons like triangles, it's just the sum of all side lengths!
