To find the distance between two points, A and B, that lie on opposite sides of the Potomac River, a surveyor lays off a line segment, AC, of length 135 yards along the same bank as point A. He determines that the measure of the angle at A is 63°44' and the measure of the angle at C is 54°38'. Determine the distance from point A to point B. Round answer to two decimal places.

I don't get this at all. I KNOW its dealing with the law of sines but I cant figure it out.
