Answer:
1150 ft W 52° N
Step-by-step explanation:
There are several ways a problem like this can be solved. Perhaps the easiest is to make use of a suitable vector calculator.
Using West as the reference for angles measured clockwise (toward north), the final position is ...
1000∠45° +200∠90° = 1150.149∠52.063°

You can also figure this using the Law of Cosines. It will tell you the resultant distance (c) in terms of the individual distances (a, b) and the angle between them (135°).
c² = a² +b² -2ab·cos(C)
c² = 1000² +200² -2·1000·200·cos(135°) ≈ 1,322,842.7
c ≈ √1322842.7 ≈ 1150.149
The angle difference from 45°N can be found using the Law of Sines.
sin(B)/b = sin(C)/c
B = arcsin(b/c·sin(C)) = arcsin(200/1140.149·sin(135°)) ≈ 7.063°
This means Caroline's bearing from home is 45° +7.063° ≈ 52° north of west.
Caroline's final position is 1150 W 52° N in relation to her home.
