Question 978026
Draw this and you have a vertical line going N for 4 meters
Then you have an internal angle of 136, which is the N and 46 degrees (the complement of 44 E of N.)  That goes 2.1 meters.  Those sides are a and b.
Side c has the hole, 215 degrees, or a 9 degree angle with the last shot (reciprocal bearing of 44 is 224).  
Law of Cosines is c^2=a^2+b^2-2ab cos C

c^2= 16+4.41-2(4)(2.1) cos 136
c^2= 20.41-16.2(-0.7193)=20.41+11.65=32.06
c=sqrt(32.06)=5.66 meters

The first person used 7.10 meters, so this is 1.44 meters shorter.
