Assuming that the author of the question means "how long is the fold in a rectangular 6X8 piece of paper folded so that two opposite corners meet", the answer is as follows:
Folding a piece of paper is like reflecting one side of the fold through the fold. Setting a coordinate system with the origin on the bottom left corner of the paper (and assuming we are folding the top right corner to meet bottom left corner) the line joining the two corners has a slope of 8/6. The fold must be perpendicular to this (it is a reflection!) so it has slope -6/8 and traverses a horizontal distance of 6. Therefore the fold is a line segment of x displacement 6 and y displacement -36/8 = -9/2.
Using pythagoras, the length of this line segment is sqrt(64 + (81/4)) = sqrt(337)/2 = 9.18 (note that we were not given units, so our answer is unitless as well)...

Can paper be folded in half more than 7 times?
In theory, paper can be folded in half more than 7 times, but it becomes increasingly difficult as the number of folds increases. The thickness of the paper and its size are limiting factors that make it practically impossible to fold a standard piece of paper more than 7-8 times.
How can you fold a piece of paper into an envelope without using tape?
To fold a piece of paper into an envelope without using tape, follow these steps: Fold the paper in half horizontally. Fold the top corners of the paper down to meet the center crease. Fold the bottom corners of the paper up to meet the center crease. Fold the bottom edge of the paper up to meet the bottom of the triangle created by the previous folds. Tuck the top flap into the pocket created by the bottom fold. Your paper is now folded into an envelope shape.
