If you were in the southern edge of the Hindu Kush Mountains (35° N, 78° E) and had to travel in a straight line to the southern edge of the island in the Mediterranean Sea, what are the two water physical features and two land physical features that you would have to cross?

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
