The length of the third side is
≈15.7

Note:

Phitagors theorem:

c^(2)=a^(2)+b^(2)

c: hypotenuse

a: altitude

b: base

1) Using Phitagors theorem

c^(2)=a^(2)+b^(2)

c^(2)=14^(2)+7^(2)

2) Calculate

c^(2)=245

3) Take the square root of both sides of the equation

$\sqrt {c^(2)}=√(245)$

c=√(245)

c≈15.7
