The joggers run 8 mile north and then runs 5 miles west. we have to calculate the shortest distance they have to travel to return to their starting point.

The distance traveled north and west respectively makes the height and base of a right angled triangle.

to find the shortest distance to the starting point, the hypotenuse has to be determined.

height h=8 miles

base b=5 miles

using pythagoras theorem

$b^2+h^2=H^2\\5^2+8^2=H^2\\25+64=H^2\\89=H^2\\\\H=\sqrt{89} =9.433=9.4 miles$

The shortest distance to the starting point is 9.4 miles
