Finding the displacement...
Okay so I've been having a lot of trouble trying to find the final displacement for a person who begins walking 200 meters west, the 300 meters south and finally meets his friend 150 meters away. I somehow got that he will be 80.5 degrees South or West by going Tan*(300m/80m) but I can't get his displacement as 58.3 meters...I'm confused. Help will be greatly appreciated :)
