A triangle is inscribed within a rectangle. The points of the triangle are Pat, Chris, and Jaime. The angle between Jaime, Pat, and Chris is 90 degrees. The angle between Pat, Chris, and Jaime is 48 degrees.
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.
Jaime is at the smallest angle from the two friends.
Pat is at an angle of 90° to Chris and Jaime.
The path between Jaime and Chris is the shortest because it is adjacent to the smallest angles.
If they meet at Pat’s entrance, then Chris will have walked a shorter distance than Jaime.
