----------------------------
Formula:
----------------------------
a² + b² = c²

----------------------------
Find the missing leg:
----------------------------
3² + b² = 14²
b² = 14² - 3²
b² = 187
b = √187
b = 13.7 (nearest tenth)

----------------------------
Answer: 13.7
----------------------------
