Anjali is using a Global Positioning System device with her scouting troop during a hike through a state park. The device indicates that if they use the paved paths the next ranger station is 26.1 meters due west and then 5.6 meters due south of their current location. The direct path to the ranger station is unpaved and also starts from their current location. What is the distance to the ranger station to the nearest tenth of a meter if the unpaved path is chosen?
