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
