Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong...
The map div is 502.6 pixels across. The world diameter and surface area
are random and so is the size of some random area which I will have the
page define with some triangles. The square root of the random area will
give me a distance which I will use to create an initial triangle at two
points some distance and angle from P0... which I will calculate the area
for from the XYZ coordinates on the surface of a sphere. I will then make
new triangles off of some edge of the triangle mesh which represents that
random area until we have a sum of the triangle areas greater than or
equal to the random area...
What I need to accomplish next is that first triangle and i would like to
print the area inside the triangle as a daughter 'p' div, like I am already
doing only for the area in m. km*2.

Today's prompt was 'waterfall'. This particular sketch really needed some color...
Alrightee then, how about D100 Space Adventure? Especially Quick and Dirty Stars and Worlds, with d100 land plus d100 ocean, so we would have a surface area from 2% to 200% of Earth's surface area, which is roughly 10 million to a billion km^2. This doesn't get me some quick and dirty landmass and seas, just raw surface area and a ratio of land to sea. If we go with my trusty octa-sphere, we could make a square which is circumference/1000 km across, (circ/1k)^2 quads which become that many triangle pairs, (circ/1k)^2*2. Or a classic 20 sider which we can think of as ten squares turned diagonal and stretched a bit, each (circ/1k)^2, so a lot more triangles with smaller areas and more headaches!
