The given lengths are two sides of a right triangle. All three side lengths of the triangle are integers and together form a Pythagorean triple. Find the length of the third side and tell weather it is a leg or the hypotenuse.    30 and 40 or 15 and 36, if I could even get one example on how to do them that would be appreciated as I have 8 others to do besides these two. </SPAN>\n" );
