Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In part 3.b.i, we calculated the time it took for the sound to travel from the source to the observer:

t = 0.0466 seconds

We can use this time and the speed of sound in air to calculate the distance traveled by the sound wave:

d = v * t

where v is the speed of sound in air and t is the time.

d = 340 m/s * 0.0466 s

d = 15.844 m

This is the round-trip distance traveled by the sound wave, which includes the distance from the source to the building and back. To find the one-way distance from the observer to the building, we need to divide this distance by 2:

d/2 = 15.844 m / 2

d/2 = 7.922 m

Therefore, the length of the school field, which is the distance between the observer and the building, is approximately 7.922 meters.
