Jason hiked 1 mile north across a field and then 1 more mile west through the woods. How would you determine his total displacement?

OpenStudy (osprey):

right angled equilateral triangle, sides are 1, 1 his walk, root 2, his displacement - ie where he is now (lost ?) relative to where he started. root 2 is about 1.414

OpenStudy (osprey):

correction to first post. it's NOT an equi triangle it's an ISOSCELES. Apologies.
