The distance between Ivy's house and the supermarket and the distance between the supermarket and the bank:
H&S = 1,014 M; and S&B = 854m. This is resolved using the Sine Theorem.
Notice that the Angles of a Triangle add up to 180° That is
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
Thus,
∠C = 180° - 32° - 109°
= 39°
Recall the Sine Theorem which indicates;
a/SinA = b/SinB = c/SinC
thus given that
AC = 1,523m
We have
AC/SinB = BC/SinA
BC = AC/SinB * SinA
= 1523/Sin109° * Sin32°
BC =854m
Therefore
AC/SinB = AB/SinC
Thus,
AB = AC/SinB * SinC
= 1523/Sin109° * Sin39°
AB ≈ 1,014m
