You can put this solution on YOUR website! well if a^2 + b^2 = c^2
7^2=49, which is a
24^2=576, which is c
subtract a from c (576-49)
which is 527, which is b^2
in order to find the other side, b, we need to take the square root of b^2 (527)
square root of 527 is 24.956
your missing side, b, is 24.956

.
Assuming c is the hypotenuse:
we have
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
7^2 + b^2 = 14^2
b^2 = 14^2 - 7^2
b^2 = 196 - 49
b^2 = 245
b = 15.652
