From a first hospital, a small family travels via an SUV 25 km in a direction 30° south of west and then 30 km toward the north to a second hospital in search of a vacancy that will admit a severe-case CoViD-19 relative patient. What is the separation distance (in km) between the two hospital, i.e. magnitude of the resultant displacement
