A plane leaves the airport in Hong Kong and flies 74.3 km at 57.7 degree east of north (east of north means the direction is between east and north directions and the angle given is between the vector and the north direction) and then changes direction to fly 53.6 km at 16.9 degree south of east, after which it makes an immediate emergency landing. What is the distance in km between the emergency landing site and the airport?
