Answer:

14/3

Explanation:

Use the equation for the area of a triangle:
A = (bh)/(2)

b represents base

h represents height

Substitute the known variables into the equation


A = (bh)/(2)


14 = (b(6))/(2)


14 = (6b)/(2)

Isolate b and solve


14*2 = 6b


28 = 6b


28/6 = b


b = 14/3

Therefore the base is 14/3 ft.
