A survey drone flies 10 km north from its launch pad, turns right and flies 24 km. How far is the drone from the launch pad?

Explanation

1. 01

   Right from north is east: the legs are 10 km north and 24 km east.

2. 02

   Distance $= \sqrt{10^2 + 24^2} = \sqrt{100 + 576} = \sqrt{676} = 26$ km.
