Answer:

9.8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Pythagoras theorem, the square of length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of squares of lengths of other two sides.

Let the third side be x units.

Then,

x² + 10² = 14²

=> x² + 100 = 196

=> x² = 196 - 100

=> x² = 96

=> x = √96

=> x = 4√6

=> x = 9.79....

=> x = 9.8 (Rounding to the nearest tenths)

So, the length of the third side is 9.8 units.
