You have 2 triangles here making up this single quadrilateral. One of the triangles is a 30-60-90 and the other one is a 45-45-90. These 2 triangles share a hypotenuse. We need the length of that hypotenuse if we are to find the missing side x. The "lower" triangle is the 30-60-90 and the side we are given is across from the 30 degree angle. In the Pythagorean triple for a 30-60-90, the side across from the 30 degree angle is x, the side across from the 60 degree angle is
x √(3), and the hypotenuse is 2x. So we need to find x. If
x=14 √(3) then two times x is equal to
2(14 √(3)) which is equal to
28 √(3). So the length of the hypotenuse is
28 √(3). The Pythagorean triple for a 45-45-90 is
(x,x,x √(2)) with
x √(2) as the length of the hypotenuse in a 45-45-90. If the length of the hypotenuse is
28 √(3), then we need to solve for x.
x √(2)=28 √(3). We solve for x by dividing by the square root of 2, like this:
x= (28 √(3) )/( √(2) ). The only way to solve this is to multiply by
( √(2) )/( √(2) ). Doing this step by step we have
(28 √(3) )/( √(2) )* ( √(2) )/( √(2) ). Multiply straight across the top and straight across the bottom to get
(28 √(6) )/(2) which simplifies by reduction to
14 √(6). First choice above.

30 60 90 triangel has special abilities. 30 degree opposite is K , 60 is

k √(3)
and 90 is 2K , 45 45 90 triangel is ; if 45 degree opposite is a and the other is same and the hypothenus( i dont know how 2 correct) is being

a √(2)
