\r\n" );
document.write( "The area of a triangle (of any triangle) is half the product of two sides lengths and the sine of the angle between them:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "S = \"%281%2F2%29%2Aa%2Ab%2Asin%28alpha%29\".\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Substituting the given data, you obtain \"sin%28alpha%29\" = \"%282%2AS%29%2F%28a%2Ab%29\" = \"%282%2A80%29%2F%2820%2A10%29\" = \"160%2F200\" = \"4%2F5\".\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then \"cos%28alpha%29\" = +/- \"sqrt%281-sin%5E2%28alpha%29%29\" = +/- \"3%2F5\".\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"cos%28alpha%29\" can not be negative under the given condition.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Indeed, otherwise the angle \"alpha\" is obtuse and our 20 unit side is not the longest side.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So, \"cos%28alpha%29\" = \"3%2F5\".\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Now apply the Cosine Law theorem. You will get for the length of the third side\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\"c%5E2\" = \"a%5E2+%2B+b%5E2+-+2ab%2Acos%28alpha%29\" = \"10%5E2+%2B+20%5E2+-+2%2A10%2A20%2A%283%2F5%29\" = \"500+-+2%2A10%2A4%2A3\" = \"500+-+240\" = 260.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Thus  c = \"sqrt%28260%29\" = 16.125 units (approximately).\r\n" );
