Use the sine theorem:

sin(angle A) / length of side a = sin (angle B) / lenght of side b

Here:

angle A = 32°

length of side a = length from school to library = x

angle B = 110°

length of side b = 2.2 mi

Then, sin(32°) / x = sin(110°) / 2.2 mi

=> x = 2.2 mi * sin (32) / sin (110)

x = 1.24 mi

Therefore the answer is the option B. 1.2 mi
