Answer:

Explanation:

The Pythagorean Theorem is c^2=a^2+b^2. This can be applied to right triangles

h^2=x^2+y^2

Meaning the hypotenuse is equal to the square root of the sum of its squared sides.

In this case:

14^2=3^2+x^2

x^2=14^2-3^2

x^2=196-9

x^2=187

x=(187)^(1/2)

x=13.7 rounded to nearest tenth
