First, provide the length of the other side.
try again. what is /2 ?
If you mean √2, then the possibilities for a right triangle are
1 and 11, since
1^2 + √2^2 = 3
√2^2 + 3^2 = 11
If you meant 1/2, then the choices are
√11/2 and √37/2
(1/2)^2 + 3^2 = √37/2
(1/2)^2 + (√11/2)^2 = 3
1 and 11, since
1^2 + √2^2 = 3
√2^2 + 3^2 = 11
If you meant 1/2, then the choices are
√11/2 and √37/2
(1/2)^2 + 3^2 = √37/2
(1/2)^2 + (√11/2)^2 = 3
