Annalise would be 15 while Samantha would be 16. This would also mean Torah is 12. Being that Samantha has to be one year older than Annalise, I guess-and-checked with multiplication until I came upon the right answer. It was easy to assume that they were relatively young because 20x20 equals 400, and 10x10 = 100. So it'd be within the 11-19 range.

but yeah

Annalise = 15

Samantha=16
