Since the direction north is perpendicular to the direction east, the driver has covered the two legs of a right triangle.  The hypotenuse is his displacement for the combination of the two segments.

     D = √(215² + 45²)

         =  √(46,225 + 2,025)

         =  √48,250  =  219.6588... km

To the nearest whole number:   220 km  

Answer:

220 KM
