Two joggers run 8 miles north and then 5 miles west. what is the shortest distance they must travel to return to their starting point (the diagram) ? round your answer to the nearest hundredth. draw a diagram and show your work. (mgse8.g.7)

9.43 miles and for the diagram just draw a labelled right triangle with the base running towards the left. Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

I believe you would use the pythagorean theorem which is a^2+b^2=c^2

So if

8^2+5^2=c^2

64+25=89

\sqrt{89} = 9.43

i believe its 9.43
