What percentage of total world production of carbon dioxide do the developed countries contribute? *

A. less than 1%
B. about 25%
O C. about 50%
D. about 75%

the answer would be the third option, "no, ariel should have added 9^2 and 12^2 and compared that to 15^2."

this is found through the pythagorean theorem, which is a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

this is the correct way of solving the problem:

9^2 + 12^2 = 15^2

81 + 144 = 225

225 = 225
