Please check you post. I think 4.2 m is not the right length because if you add any two sides of a triangle, it should be greater than the third side.
Here 4.2+(hypotenuse-14)=hypotenuse-9.8 which is shorter than the hypotenuse.

It probably reads 42.

Let x=length of the other side, then
x+14=hypotenuse

Apply Pythagoras theorem:
42²+x² = (x+14)²

Expand the right-hand side:
1764+x²=x²+28x+196
28x=1764-196=1568
which gives x=56
