use the law of cosines. The distance z is
z^2 = 1000^2 + 450^2 - 2*1000*450 cos127°
z^2 = 1000^2 + 450^2 - 2*1000*450 cos127°

All angles are measured CW from +y-axis.
d1 = 500*2 = 1000km[0o].
d2 = 300*1.5 = 450km[53o].
D = d1+d2.
D = (1000*sin0+450*sin53)+(1000*cos0+450*cos53)i
D = 359.4 + 1270.8i = 1320.7km[16o].
d1 = 500*2 = 1000km[0o].
d2 = 300*1.5 = 450km[53o].
D = d1+d2.
D = (1000*sin0+450*sin53)+(1000*cos0+450*cos53)i
D = 359.4 + 1270.8i = 1320.7km[16o].
