Answer:

[tex]2\sqrt{42}[/tex] or 12.96

Step-by-step explanation:

Both legs are a and b in the pythagorean thm formula:

a² + b² = c²

Given:

a = 14√6

b = 14√6

Work:

a² + b² = c²

14√6² + 14√6² = c²

84 + 84 = c²

168 = c²

[tex]\sqrt{c^2} =\sqrt{168}[/tex]

c = [tex]2\sqrt{42}[/tex]

Rounded to hundredths:

c = 12.96
