The figure above shows the dimensions of a semicircular cross section of a one-way tunnel. The single traffic lane is 12 feet wide and is equidistant from the sides of the tunnel. If vehicles must clear the top of the tunnel by at least ½ foot when they are inside the traffic lane, what should be the limit on the height of vehicles that are allowed to use the tunnel?
5½ ft
7½ ft
8 ½ ft
9½ ft
10 ft
错在完全没get题意。其实题目很简单,想象一个半圆的内切矩形,矩形的底是12, 底的中点和半圆中点重合,中点到矩形的左右上方的点距离为10(20的一半),可以算出这个矩形的高度为8, 然后需要与Top里0.5的距离,所以是7.5.
唉,但是谁规定通道一定要是矩形的?
