If this is what you mean, then you would use this formula: ( each of the legs squared and added equal to the hypotenuse.  The hypotenuse is the one that is slanted.  so 6squared plus 8 squared = x squared. 
(6x6) + (8x8)=x sq
36 + 64= x sq
100=x sq  
10=x   because (10 x 10 =100)
The missing side is 10.
