let median(BC) be the length of the median drawn from angle A to side BC, then
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "BC = (1/2) * square root(2 * AB^2 + 2 * AC^2 - BC^2)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Use the Law of Sines to find the length of the other two sides
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Note angle A = 45 degrees, angle C = 70 degrees, then angle B = 65 degrees
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The problem states that AB = 40m, then
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "40/sin(70) = BC/sin(45)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "BC = (sin(45) * 40)/sin(70) = 30.0995
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "40/sin(70) = AC/sin(65)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "AC = (sin(65) * 40)/sin(70) = 38.5789
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "median(BC) = (1/2) * square root(2 * (40)^2 + 2 * (38.5789)^2 - (30.0995)^2) = 36.2997
\n" ); document.write( ":
