What question did Yali ask Diamond that sparked Diamond’s research? What did Yali’s question mean?

Its in the national history museum and you can't se the original because its locked away in a vault 

Summer months are the wettest.

In a right-angled triangle: 1- the hypotenuse is the longest side2- we can apply pythagorean rule which states that: (hypotenuse)^2 = (side1)^2 + (side2)^2for the given triangle,longest side is 15 cm  side1 = 9 cmside2 is 12 cm  to check whether the triangle is right-angled or not,compare (15)^2 to the summation of (9)^2 and (12)^in other words, compare 225 to the summation of 81 and 144if they are both equal, then the triangle is right-angles, otherwise, it is not.you haven't provided the diagram showing her work, so i cannot tell the choice. however, apply my explanation to the question you have.
