An aeroplane flies 400m North and 300m South and then flies 1200m upwards. To the nearest meter, what is the net displacement?
The answer is 1204.

Apparently, it has to be represented on a 3D Cartesian plane, where N,S,W,E are on a flat surface and there are two more, Upward and Downward.
Since the flight flies N 400, S 300 and then U 1200, the displacement from the actual point is 1200m.
