Shortest distance between his house and school is 13km according to the pythagoras theorem.
It makes a triangle, point A is His house, B is hospital and C is his School. According to Pythagoras theorem, AB^2 + BC ^2 = AC^2.
SO, 12^2 + 5^2 = square of shortest distance between his house and school i.e. 169. So shortest distance is √169 i.e 13.
