Problem

A drone starts from the origin, flies 100 m100\,\text{m} due east, then ascends vertically 60 m60\,\text{m}, and finally travels 80 m80\,\text{m} due north. Determine the pair that best represents (magnitude of resultant displacement, angle with the horizontal plane). (a) 128 m, 30∘128\text{ m},\,30^{\circ} (b) 141 m, 25∘141\text{ m},\,25^{\circ} (c) 117 m, 31∘117\text{ m},\,31^{\circ} (d) 141 m, 64∘141\text{ m},\,64^{\circ}
