Which of the following is the greatest factor that determines climate in any given location?

no sé si entiendes español pero te daría la respuesta si lo supiera, pero lo siento mucho

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
