M_1=IA\hat{k}=Iab\hat{k} and M_2=IA\hat{j}=Iab\hat{j}

|M_{net}|=\sqrt{(M_1)^2+(M_2)^2}=\sqrt{(I^2a^2b^2)+(I^2a^2b^2)}=\sqrt{2}Iab

And the direction of net magnetic moment is along \vec{u} where \vec{u}=\hat{j}+\hat{k}

So \vec{M_{net}}=\sqrt{2}Iab\hat{u}=\sqrt{2}Iab*\frac{\vec{u}}{|\vec{u}|}=\sqrt{2}Iab*\frac{(\hat{k}+\hat{j})}{\sqrt{2}}
