Lee is creating a garden with the dimensions shown.

Lines are drawn inside a large triangle at each point to create smaller triangles. Line A B is drawn to create a triangle that has 2 sides with a length of 8 feet. The angle opposite to A B is 36 degrees. Line Z Y is drawn to create a triangle that has 2 sides with a length of 8 feet. The angle opposite to Z Y is 65 degrees. Line X Y is drawn to create a triangle that has 2 sides with a length of 8 feet. The angle opposite to X Y is 79 degrees.

He creates paths through the garden along Line segment A B, Line segment X Y, and Line segment Z Y. Which correctly compares the lengths of the paths?

The path along Line segment X Y is longer than the path along Line segment Z Y, and the path along Line segment Z Y is longer than the path along Line segment A B.
The path along Line segment A B is longer than the path along Line segment Z Y, and the path along Line segment Z Y is longer than the path along Line segment X Y.
The path along Line segment Z Y is longer than the path along Line segment X Y, and the path along Line segment X Y is longer than the path along Line segment A B.
The path along Line segment Z Y is longer than the path along Line segment A B, and the path along Line segment A B is longer than the path along Line segment X Y.
