Answer:

The answer is "101.37 yd"

Explanation:

In the given question an attachment file is missing. so, we attached the file and calculates its value:

Use formula:


c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2* a * b* \cos C

In the above-given equation we assume c is the third side:


c^2 = 305^2 + 255^2 - 2*305*255*cos17\\c^2= 93,025+65,025-155,550(0.95)\\c^2= 158,050-147,772.5\\c^2= 10,277.5

c = 101.37 yd
