We cannot determine given the information.
We can say the third side has to be less than 8+6 and more than 8-6.
2 < x < 14, where x = the third side's length.
.
If we know the angle between the two sides, we can solve the third side with the law of cosines.
If we know the angle between the two sides is 90 degrees, we can solve with the Pythagorean Theorem.
Without that information, we cannot determine the length of the third side.
.
Done.
