tar -xf filename.tar
Make sure you're in the same directory as the file. Alternatively, you could navigate to the directory the file is in using the regular graphical interface (just like you would in windows) and, I imagine, right click on the file, and do "extract," or a similar command. A tar file in Linux is basically like a zip file in windows.
