First, we must find the height of olivia.
1m = 100cm (given, metric system)
178/2 = 89cm (olivia is 89cm tall)
Ava is 23cm taller than Olivia, so 89 + 23 would be our next step.
89 + 23 = 112cm tall
Olivia: 89cm Ava: 112cm

Ava is 112 cm tall and Olivia is 89 cm tall. This is determined from the height of Lucas, who is 178 cm tall. Ava's height is 23 cm more than Olivia's height, which is half of Lucas's height.
