1. Add the inches:
   $$
   8\, \text{in} + 10\, \text{in} = 18\, \text{in}
   $$

2. Convert 18 inches to feet and inches:
   $$
   18\, \text{in} = 12\, \text{in} + 6\, \text{in} = 1\, \text{ft} + 6\, \text{in}
   $$

3. Add the feet:
   $$
   4\, \text{ft} + 9\, \text{ft} = 13\, \text{ft}
   $$
   Then add the carried 1 ft:
   $$
   13\, \text{ft} + 1\, \text{ft} = 14\, \text{ft}
   $$

4. Combine the feet and inches:
   $$
   14\, \text{ft} \,\, 6\, \text{in}
   $$
$$ 4\, \text{ft}\, 8\, \text{in} + 9\, \text{ft}\, 10\, \text{in} = 14\, \text{ft}\, 6\, \text{in} $$
