The height of the baseball after 1.7 seconds is 19.7 feet.

Given that the equation for the path of the baseball is y = x + 18, where x is the time in seconds and y is the height in feet, let's use this equation to find the height after 1.7 seconds.

Substitute
\(x = 1.7\) into the equation:


\[y = 1.7 + 18\]

Calculate:


\[y = 19.7\]

So, the height of the baseball after 1.7 seconds is 19.7 feet.
