problem

From his base camp at the equator, Bruce hiked on flat terrain 1313 kilometers due north, then 2424 km due east, and finally 66 km due south. Using a direct route, how many kilometers would Bruce be from base camp? (Assume the Earth is flat for this problem.)
Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
From his base camp at the equator, Bruce hiked on flat terrain 13 kilometers due north, then 24 km due east, and finally 6 km due south. Using a direct route, how many kilometers would Bruce be from base camp?  (Assume the Earth is flat for this problem.)
Original LaTeX notation
