Explanation:

I just answered this. how often did you post that ?

the inner height and the base area radius create a right-angled triangle with l.

so, Pythagoras can be used :

l² = 7² + (14/2)² = 2×49 = 98

l = sqrt(98) ft

FYI : this could be further simplified :

sqrt(98) = sqrt(2×49) = 7×sqrt(2)
