Question

n a tournament, a professional golfer knows that she is 200 yards from the hole. A spectator is watching her play and is 140 yards away from the golfer.

Answer 1

We can use the sine rule to find the hole angle, and then find the golfer angle:

`(200)/(\sin(115))=(140)/(\sin (Hole))`
`\text{Hole Angle = }\sin ^(-1)((140*\sin (115))/(200))`
`\text{Hole Angle = }39.37664303\text{ degre}es`

Now we can find the golfer angle:

`\text{Golfer = 180 - 115 - 39.38 }\cong25.6\text{ degre}es`

Answer: 25.6 degrees.
