选词 1:hypotenuse [haɪˈpɑːtənuːs] (直角三角形的)斜边,弦 (n)
Their land, together, formed a square; two triangles meeting along a common hypotenuse. The Hartes’ land was narrow at the driveway and then opened up; the Golds’ land did the reverse, so that the houses were only about an acre apart. But they were separated by a small thicket of woods that did not completely block out the view of the other home.
