Earthquakes don't kill people, buildings kill people' Do you agree with this
statement?

Explanation:

in my opion i dont aggree because yes buildings kill people but the earthquakes are what cause the event. also there are other things that earthquakes could cause for people to die like avalanches for instanse

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
