Find Distance and Perimeter Using Coordinates

A squirrel is collecting acorns to prepare for the coming winter. The squirrel thinks of its surrounding area as a 2D space, where the $x$ and $y$ coordinates represent the position of the squirrel on the ground in meters. Suppose the squirrel is at (0,0) and it sees some acorns at the location (6,8) and some other acorns at the location (5,12). Which acorns should the squirrel go for to minimize the distance it travels? Assume the squirrel can go in a straight line to both locations.
