    Their drive would be 12 miles shorter (50 in total instead of 62)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    a2+b2=c2

    14^2+48^ = 2500

    2500's Square Root is 50

    14+48 = 62

    62-50 = 12

    12 is how much shorter it took.

    50 is how long it would take without gas station stop.

    62 is how long it took with going to the gas station.
