To find the value of x, we can use the Pythagorean theorem formula:

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

In this case, the base (b) is 14 and the height (a) is 29. To find the hypotenuse (c), which is represented by x, we can rearrange the formula as:

x^2 = 14^2 + 29^2

x^2 = 196 + 841

x^2 = 1037

To solve for x, we need to take the square root of both sides:

x = √1037

x ≈ 32.2

Therefore, x is approximately equal to 32.2.
