Answer:

Approximatly 12.65

Step-by-step explanation:

You would use the pythagorean Theoram for this.

[tex]a^{2}+6^{2}=14^{2}[/tex]

[tex]a^{2}+36=196[/tex]

Subtract 36 from both sides:

[tex]a^{2}=160[/tex]

Square 160 to remove the exponent on "a":

[tex]a=\sqrt{160}[/tex]

[tex]a≈ 12.65[/tex]
