Answer:
the height of the building is approximately 134 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall that i order to use the arc-length formula:
[tex]arc\,\,length=R\,\theta[/tex]
we know the radius R, but the angle [tex]\theta[/tex] must be given in radians. Then we convert [tex]4.5^o[/tex] to radians, and then use 1700 yards as the radius in the formula.
[tex]4.5^o*\frac{\pi}{180} =0.07854[/tex]
Therefore, the arc length formula would render:
[tex]arc\,\,length=R\,\theta\\arc\,\,length=1700\,(0.07854)=133.518\, yards[/tex]
which rounded to the nearest yard becomes: 134 yards
