I have an iPad and an iPhone. They sync and are both backed up on the cloud. When I take a picture on my phone it shows up on the iPad and I believe is auto backed up in the cloud. My iPad is out of storage and I need to update the system. Obviously the photos take up a lot of storage space. Do I need the same photos in three places? Seems redundant. How can I fix this?

Or you may want to try leaving iCloud Photos turned on in the iPad and turn on the Optimize Storage option on the iPad. See below:
Be aware that iCloud Photos is a syncing service. Any photo you delete from a device where iCloud Photos is turned on will also be deleted from iCloud and from any other device connected to iCloud Photos. You can potentially reduce the storage space required on a device by turning on Optimize Storage. See: Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support
