since you have the lengths of three sides, by the side-side-side congruence theorem, there is only one possible triangle that can be formed.
to make sure that it is an actual triangle, if you add any two sides, the sum must be greater than the third side:
6 + 8 = 14 > 10
8 + 10 = 18 > 6
6 + 10 = 16 > 8
and as it has already been pointed out, since the three sides satisfy the Pythagorean theorem, our triangle just happens to be a right triangle.

6^2+8^2 ? 10^2
36+64 ? 100
100=100
this triangle is a right triangle

True, you have the length of all three sides of a triangle. From geometery only one triangle can be drawn.
