Mariana finds a cave to explore. Starting at the cave entrance, Mariana first follows a passage 75.0 m north, then turns and moves 250 m east, then goes 113 m at an angle 30.0° north of east, and finally moves 179 m south. Find the resultant displacement from the cave entrance. Shown is a sketch of the situation not drawn to scale. (Give the magnitude of the displacement in m and the direction in degrees south of east.)
