Answer:
The distance of the golfer's second shot have to be to reach the hole is 190.22 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Here we have the location of the starting point to the golf ball = Point A
Location of the ball = Point B
Location of the hole = Point C
There are three points in the triangle
we know two sides of the triangle and n included (in between) angle.
Therefore, the length of the third side is given by cosine rule as
[tex]a^{2} = b^2 + c^2 - 2 \times b \times c\times cos(A)[/tex]
b = 455 yards
c = 283 yards
Angle A = 13 °
Therefore,
[tex]a^{2} = 455^2 + 283^2 - 2 \times 455 \times 283\times cos(13) = 36184[/tex]
a = √36184 = 190.22 yards.
