Use the Pythagorean theorem.  

\(a^2+b^2=c^2\)

it doesn't matter which value is which since we are looking for the hypotenuse, so we would plug in given values: 

 \(6^2+8^2=c^2\)

From here we do the math to solve for c

\(36+64=c^2\)

\(100=c^2\)

\(\sqrt{100} = \sqrt{c^2}\)

Final answer ----> C=10
