Solve the given problems. As a nuclear submarine moves eastward, it travels $0.50 \mathrm{km}$ in a straight line as it descends $0.30 \mathrm{km}$ below the surface. It then turns southward and travels $0.90 \mathrm{km}$ in a straight line while resurfacing. What is its displacement from its original position?
