Pat is at a right angle from Chris and Jaime, and Chris is at a 48° angle from Pat and Jaime. Which statements are true? Check all that apply.

The three angles in a triangle add to 180°. Pat’s angle is 90° and Chris’s is 48°, so Jaime’s angle is 180° − 90° − 48° = 42°. Jaime therefore has the smallest angle, and Pat’s angle is 90°. The side opposite the smaller angle is shorter: when they meet at Pat’s entrance, Chris’s path to Pat is shorter than Jaime’s. The path between Jaime and Chris is opposite the largest angle, so it is the longest, not the shortest; and when they meet at Jaime’s entrance, Pat walks less than Chris.
