Answer:

The length of the arc is 89 yards

Explanation:

Mathematically, to find the length of an arc, we use the formula below;

Length of an arc = Theta/360 * 2 * pi * r

In this case, Theta = 300 and r = 17 yards

Length of the arc = 300/360 * 2 * 22/7 * 17 = 89.047619047583 which is 89 yards to the nearest yard
