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 applyJaime 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. If they meet at Jaime's entrance, then Pat will have walked a longer distance than Chris.

Based on the given condition, and applying the rule of right triangles, since Pat is at right triangle from Chris and Jaime, then Pat is at angle of 90 degrees to Chris and Jaime. Since Chris is at 48 degrees from Jaime and Pat, then Jaime is at the smallest angle from the two friends. Since the angle of Chris from Jaime and Pat is larger than that of Pat and Chris (from Jaime) then if they meet at Pat's entrance, then Chris will have walked a shorter distance than Jaime.
