\n" ); document.write( "You want height to find area.
\n" ); document.write( "Take one of the given sides as a base. Use the 8 m as a base.
\n" ); document.write( "\"5%2Asine%2853%29=height\". If you try \"5%2Acosine%2853%29\", this would give just the projection of the 5 meter side onto the base, which is nice, but not what you want.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "AREA will be \"%281%2F2%29%28base%29%28height%29=%281%2F2%298%285sin%2853%29%29=20%2Asin%2853%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
