Write an algorithm to solve this brain teaser:
You have a square that is broken into four triangles, the area of three of those triangles is given. You must determine the area of the center triangle. Your function will take in 3 arguments A, B, and C. Below is an image of this problem, in this example A = 4, B = 3, and C = 2.

Unless I'm screwing something up, I think there are three possible answers to this question, and you're looking for the integer one? Given the answers you are looking for, A and C are always the triangles that have one full side of your square, but that's not specified in the problem statement.
