Solve the problem. -Dombro Construction Company needs to cut an arch for the top of a doorway. The arch needs to be 10 feet wide and 2 feet high. The arch will be a section of a circle, drawn using a stretched string with a pencil attached at the End as a compass. Using the coordinate system as shown in the drawing, find the y-coordinate of the point on The y-axis that would be the center of the circle. Round to the hundredths place.
