To find the distance across a small lake, a surveyor has taken the measurements shown. Find the distance across the lake using this information.

A diagram shows a triangle with the following details:
- Points labeled A, B, and C.
- The side AC is 3.52 km.
- The side BC is 2.23 km.
- The angle at C is 39.4°.

There is also a note: "The triangle is NOT drawn to scale."

Below the diagram is a text box labeled "distance =" for entering the calculated distance.

Instruction: Enter your answer as a number; your answer should be accurate to 2 decimal places.
