Answer:

About 10 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Since I'm assuming you need to find the height of the supporting wall, I recommend drawing a diagram to help you better visualize what it would look like, like in the attached diagram. You'll see that it forms a triangle, with leg lengths 4.5 and x and a hypotenuse length 11. Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the height of the supporting wall.

Hope this helps!
