Check the picture attached.
Let OB be the radius of circle with center O.
Let B' be the image of B after the described rotation
OB and OB' are sides of the equilateral triangle OBB'.
The x coordinate of B' is the midpoint of OB, that is 5.
In the right triangle B', point (5, 0) and B:
Distance point (5, 0) to B is 5
|B'B|=|OB|=10
so by the pythagorean theorem:
