Question

The tee for the fifth hole on a golf course is 355 yards from the tee. On that hole,

Marsha hooked her ball to the left, as sketched below. Find the distance between
Marsha's ball and the hole to the nearest tenth of a yard.

Answer 1

The answer is "141.56 yd".

Explanation:

In the given question an image file is missing, that can be defined as follows:

Formula:

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

Let assume C is the third side:

`c ^ 2 = 355 ^ 2 + 240 ^ 2 - 2 * 355 * 240 * cos 16^(\circ)\\\\`

`c^2=126025+57600- 170400(0.96)\\`

`=126025+57600- 163584\\\\=183625-163584\\\\=20041`

`c= 141.56`

So, the total distance= 141.56 yd
