A drone operator has his drone take off and then start flying due north. The drone flies 45.3 meters when it collides with a flying bird. The impact makes the drone veer 24.5° east. It then flies another 22.6 meters before its emergency auto-landing program causes it to land. How far, d, and in what direction, e, must the operator walk to retrieve his drone?
