The gator travels at the top of the swamp surface 100m west and then 90.0m in a direction 33.0 degrees to the east of north. Then the gator dives below the swamp surface and travels an additional distance in an unknown direction. The final location of the gator is 60.0 m directly under a float marker which is placed 125m north of the gator's start location. Find what the gator's displacement was during this gator dive.
