While exploring a cave, a spelunker starts at the entrance and moves the following distances: 71.5 m north, 90.1 m east, 57.3 m at an angle 30.0° south of east, and 28.3 m south. Find the magnitude of the resultant displacement from the cave entrance in meters. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
