how to find displacement in vector diagram?

My homework question states :
"Mr. Hinsley walks north 252 m, east 512 m, south 35.5 m and finally west 256 m. What is the total distance traveled? What is his displacement?"

I got that the total distance = 1096 m
However i am having trouble finding the displacement. i made a vector diagram but don't quite know how to use it to find the displacement.




! combined north and south. i also combined east and west. i came to the conclusion that he ended up at 176.5 m north and 256 m east. i just don't know what to do from here.

Each leg of the journey is a displacement. Displacement, as you've realized, is a vector.
The sum of all the displacement vectors is the total displacement.
Do you know how to add vectors?

Draw a line from the origin to your point. You should now see a right triangle. Use the pythagorean theorem.
