    Answer: 2464.5 ft

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given

    Slope is \frac{1}{2}

    Horizontal travel is 4929 feet

    and Slope is given by

    \Rightarrow \text{Slope}=\dfrac{\text{Vertical travel}}{\text{Horizontal travel}}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{Y}{4929}\\\\\Rightarrow Y=2464.5\ ft

    Therefore, vertical travel is 2464.5 ft
