If x is the angle between the two given sides, then:
80 = 100sin(x)
sin(x) = 0.8
cos(x) = 0.6
If c is the third side, then:
c^2 = 20^2 + 10^2 - 400cos(x)
c = sqrt(260) cm.

80/20 = 4 = h/2
h = 8
100 - 64 = 36
20 - 6 = 14
64 + 196 = 260
√260 ≈ 16.12452

80/10 = 8
h = 16
400 - 256 = 144
12 - 10 = 2
4 + 256 = 260
√260 ≈ 16.12452

Let us use Heron's formula. Let the third side be x cm. Now,
s=(10+20+x)/2
therefore,
80=square root of{s(s-20)(s-10)(s-x)}
squaring both sides
6400={s(s-20)(s-10)(s-x)}
=[{s}{(30+x)/2} -20] [{(30+x)/2} -10] [{(30+x)/2} -x]
=[{s}{(x-10)/2} {(x+10)/2} {(30-x)/2}]
=s{(x^2-100)(30-x)}/8
={(30+x)(x^2-100)(30-x)}/16
=> 0={(900-x^2)(x^2-100)} + 102400
solve it for x and you will get the answer.

You use Heron's Formula to solve this.

You set an equation where s= half the sum of (10+20+x)

and the area, 80 is the square root of the product of s(s-10)(s-20)(s-x).

You plug in S in the equation and solve for x.
