document.write( "In this problem, two sides of a triangle are given, \"b\" and \"c\", and the concluded angle A\r\n" );
document.write( "between them.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "For such case, there is very simple formula for the triangle area\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    area = .\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "By applying it, you get\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So, doing this way, you get the answer directly, making minimum calculations,\r\n" );
document.write( "which is considered as a right/rational way in Math.\r\n" );

document.write( "it is possible, but it requires much more calculation job:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    - you first need to find the side \"a\", opposite to angle A, using\r\n" );
document.write( "      the cosine law;\r\n" );
document.write( "    - then you need to apply the Heron's formula, which is complicated itself.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So, this way requires much more calculations, making unnecessary job.\r\n" );
document.write( "Therefore, I would call this way irrational.\r\n" );
