Answer:

c = 18.47

Step-by-step explanation:

This would create a triangle in which the length of the wall would be the missing side. We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find this:

1. [tex]a^{2}[/tex] + [tex]b^{2}[/tex] = [tex]c^{2}[/tex]

2. [tex]5^{2}[/tex] + [tex]14^{2}[/tex] = [tex]c^{2}[/tex]

3. 25 + 196 = [tex]c^{2}[/tex]

4. 221 = [tex]c^{2}[/tex]

5. [tex]\sqrt{221}[/tex] = c

6. 18.47 = c
