What is Pythagoras Theorem?

The Pythagoras theorem states that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

Here, base = 48 miles

         perp. = 14 miles

By Pythagoras Theorem,

(Hypo.)² = (Perp.)² + (Base)²

H² = 14² + 48²

H² = 196 + 2304

 H² = 2500

 H = 50 miles

Thus, the shortest distance Tai can sail to return to the marina is 50 miles.
