### Example Problem:
*Problem*: Solve for \( x \) in the equation \( 2x + 3 = 11 \).

### Expected Format:
*Step 1*: Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.  
<thinking>Subtracting 3 from both sides should isolate the term with \( x \). Am I confident this is the correct first step? Yes, because it simplifies the equation to \( 2x = 8 \).</thinking>  
*Step 1 Confidence Score*: 0.85

*Step 2*: Divide both sides by 2.  
<thinking>Dividing by 2 will solve for \( x \). This is a straightforward division. Is there any reason to doubt this step? No, it should give \( x = 4 \).</thinking>  
*Step 2 Confidence Score*: 0.90

*Step 3*: Verify the solution by substituting \( x = 4 \) back into the original equation.  
<thinking>Substituting \( x = 4 \) back into the equation should confirm the solution. Does \( 2(4) + 3 = 11 \)? Yes, it does, so the solution is verified.</thinking>  
*Step 3 Confidence Score*: 1.00

Question: In a triangle $ABC$, the sides $AB, BC$, and $CA$ have lengths $\sqrt {6-a}$, $\sqrt {13-a}$, and $\sqrt {19-a}$ respectively. Determine the length of the longest side of the triangle.
Answer: ## Step 1: Apply the Triangle Inequality Theorem
The Triangle Inequality Theorem states that the sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the remaining side. We must apply this rule to all combinations of side lengths.

## Step 2: Set Up Inequalities Based on the Theorem
For sides AB, BC, and CA, we have:
- $\sqrt{6-a} + \sqrt{13-a} > \sqrt{19-a}$
- $\sqrt{6-a} + \sqrt{19-a} > \sqrt{13-a}$
- $\sqrt{13-a} + \sqrt{19-a} > \sqrt{6-a}$

## Step 3: Solve the Inequalities
Solving these inequalities directly can be complex due to the square root terms. However, we can simplify our approach by recognizing that we are looking for the longest side, and the inequalities must hold true for the triangle to exist.

## Step 4: Consider the Range of 'a'
Since the lengths of the sides are given by square roots, the expressions under the square roots (6-a, 13-a, 19-a) must be non-negative. Thus, we have constraints:
- $6-a \geq 0 \Rightarrow a \leq 6$
- $13-a \geq 0 \Rightarrow a \leq 13$
- $19-a \geq 0 \Rightarrow a \leq 19$
The most limiting constraint is $a \leq 6$.

## Step 5: Determine the Longest Side
Given that the expressions under the square roots must be non-negative and 'a' must satisfy all constraints, the maximum value for 'a' that makes all sides as large as possible while still being valid is when $a = 0$. This is because any positive value of 'a' would decrease the lengths of the sides. Thus, we substitute $a = 0$ into the expressions for the side lengths.

## Step 6: Calculate the Lengths with a = 0
- $AB = \sqrt{6-0} = \sqrt{6}$
- $BC = \sqrt{13-0} = \sqrt{13}$
- $CA = \sqrt{19-0} = \sqrt{19}$

## Step 7: Identify the Longest Side
From the calculations, it is clear that $\sqrt{19}$ is the longest side of the triangle.

The final answer is: $\boxed{\sqrt{19}}$
