I believe you have a diagram, or the number of sides in the figure.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what ?
Parth (parthkohli):
It'd be even better if it has a specific name like 'square', 'rectangle'.
Parth (parthkohli):
Is there a diagram in this question?
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
use the pythagorean theorem
\[a = \sqrt{c^2 - b^2}\]
\[a = \sqrt{5^2 - 3^2}\]
i think this your problem right?

Hmm. If it is a right triangle, then we don't know if 5 is the hypotenuse or the longer leg.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
triangle
Parth (parthkohli):
But, I go for \(5 \text{ is the hypotenuse, because we have a triplet}\) with 5 as the hypotenuse.
Parth (parthkohli):
\( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow 3^2 + b^2 = 5^2}\)
\( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow b^2 = 5^2 - 3^2 }\)
\( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow b = \sqrt{5^2 - 3^2}}\)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
5 is the base and 3 is the up and down side
