Answer: approximately 12.17 units

==========================================================

Work Shown:

We'll use the tangent ratio to find r

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(49) = 14/r

r*tan(49) = 14

r = 14/tan(49)

r = 12.1700143294271

r = 12.17

The radius is approximately 12.17 units long.
