Answer:

A

Explanation:

Use the Pythagorean Theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2

The cable will be the hypotenuse, so c = 11.3 m

One leg is the distance of the anchor, so a = 4.2 m

(4.2)^2 + b^2 = (11.3)^2

17.64 + b^2 = 127.69

Subtract 17.64 from both sides

b^2 = 110.05

Square root both sides

b = ~10.5 m
