    Ok so we are using the Pythagorean theorem so were gonna do A^2 + B^2 = C^2

    It don't say which leg we have so you can use either a or b.

    Which would get us 14^2 + B^2 = 50^2

    14*14 = 196, 50 * 50 = 2500

    Then we have to subtract the two.

    So 2500 - 196 = 2,304

    Then you take the take the square root of that answer and you have your other leg.

    The square root of 2,304 is 48

    So the missing leg = 48
