document.write( "A surveyor is mapping a triangular field. From one corner he sights between the two opposite corners and finds an angle of 56°. He knows that he length of the opposite side of the field is 60m while the side to his left is 70m. The surveyor creates one drawing of the field and sends the single drawing and a bill to the client. Should the client pay the bill? Explain your reasoning </SPAN>\n" );
