A surveyor needs to plant a marker directly northeast from where she is standing. Because of obstacles, she walks a route in the horizontal plane consisting of 200 m east, followed by 400 m north, followed by 300 m northeast.

What direction should she travel and how far, and what will be her fina distance from her starting point?
