Answer:

The length of the longer leg is [tex]7\sqrt{3}\ units[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

In any triangle:

The shortest side is always opposite the smallest interior angle. The longest side is always opposite the largest interior angle

so

The longer leg is AC

we have

[tex]sin(60^o)=\frac{AC}{AB}[/tex] ----> by SOH (opposite side divided by the hypotenuse)

Remember that

[tex]sin(60^o)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]AB=14\ units[/tex]

substitute the given values

[tex]\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}=\frac{AC}{14}[/tex]

[tex]AC=7\sqrt{3}\ units[/tex]
