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.
The more accurate value is 0.18982439916059 but this value isn't exact

Explanation:
The volume of this rectangular block is 0.24*0.19*0.15 = 0.00684 cubic meters.
If we had a cube of this volume, then it has some side length x such that x^3 = 0.00684
Apply the cube root to both sides. This is the same as raising both sides to the 1/3 power
The side length of the cube is approximately 0.19 meters long
