Answer:

13.42 ft. to the nearest tenth of a foot

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the cable is the hypotenuse of a right triangle.  You know the two legs, 6 and 12, so let the length of the hypotenuse = h.  Then,

[tex]h^{2} = 6^{2} + 12^{2} = 36 + 144 = 180\\h = \sqrt{180} = 13.42[/tex]

13.42 ft. to the nearest tenth of a foot
