$${I}\:{guess} \\ $$$${p}_{{max}} \Rightarrow\mathrm{4}{a} \\ $$$${p}_{{min}} =\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}{a} \\ $$$${q}_{{max}} \Rightarrow\mathrm{4}{a}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$${q}_{{min}} =\mathrm{2}{a}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$

$${q}_{{max}} =\mathrm{4}{a}^{\mathrm{2}} ,{q}_{{min}} =\mathrm{2}{a}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$
