Pan am Flight 7 was one of the famous planes to disappear into the Bermuda Triangle, which is en route from San Francisco to Hawaii . The first route is due west for 879 km; then it took a detour southeast for 633 km; and the its final route is at 53° north of west, the crash site in the Pacific ocean, for 979 km. What is the plane’s total displacement?
