  1. Wait patiently for a helper to come along.
  2. Once someone helps you, say thank you and close the thread with:
+close
  1. Feel free to nominate the person for helper of the week in #helper-nominations
  2. Do not ping the mods, unless someone is breaking the rules.
  3. If you're happy with the help you got here, and the server overall, you can contribute financially as well:

Let's focus on problem A, you gonna need to use the Pythagorean theorm for this one (c²=a²+b²). Assuming 17 to be the largest side, this makes it the hypotenuse, so you will have the equation (17²=15²+b²) all you need to get is b now.

#

And for problem b, do you know the formula that generates triple Pythagorean theorm?

#

This will be the key to answering this question

In case you don't remember. It's (a²=m²-n² , b=2mn, c=m²+n)
