2013年8月2日SAT考试官方每日一题答案:E
解析:
The ladder, the wall, and the ground form a right triangle with a
-foot hypotenuse. At first, the bottom of the ladder is
feet from the base of the building, so one leg of the right triangle measures
feet; the length of the other leg,
, can be found by solving
, which is the Pythagorean theorem. From this, you can figure out that the other leg measures
feet.
After the ladder slips down
feet, the
-foot leg of the right triangle becomes
feet long. The other leg then has to be
feet long. This length is found by solving
, which is again the Pythagorean theorem.
Since the distance between the bottom of the ladder and the base of the building increases from
feet to
feet, the amount that the bottom of the ladder slides out is
feet.
