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