Egypt has a strong role in international relations because of its control of what two locations? a. gaza strip and sinai peninsula b. suez canal and sinai peninsula c. nile river and red sea d. suez canal and persian gulf

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
