Answer:
181.8 yd
Step-by-step explanation:
The law of cosines is good for this. It tells you for triangle sides 'a' and 'b' and included angle C, the length of 'c' is given by ...
c^2 = a^2 +b^2 -2ab·cos(C)
For the given geometry, this is ...
c^2 = 400^2 +240^2 -2(400)(240)cos(16°) ≈ 33,037.75
c ≈ √33037.75 ≈ 181.8 . . . yards
Marsha's ball is about 181.8 yards from the hole.
