Cocoa · Answer 1

(p, q) = (3,3/5)

Yair · Answer 2

The third side would be 4

Step-by-step explanation:

A common Pythagorean triple would be 3, 4, 5. You can also find this using the Pythagorean Theorem with 5 being the hypotenuse.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

3^2 + b^2 = 5^2

9 + b^2 = 25

b^2 = 16

b = 4
