The answer is:  "6.2 light years" .
______________________________________________________
{ <u>Note</u>:  There are no answer choices provided.  If there are supposed to be, then round to answer choice closest to  " 6.2 light years ". }.
______________________________________________________
Explanation:
______________________________________________________

   (5.9 * 10^1^3 km) * ( \frac{1 light year}{9.46 *10^1^2 km}  ;

=  (\frac{5.9 * 10^1^3 km}{9.46 * 10^1^2 km}  light years ;  

=   \frac{5.9 km}{9.46 km} * (10^1^3^-^1^2)  light years ;

=   \frac{5.9 km}{9.46 km} * (10^1)  light years ;

=   \frac{5.9 km}{9.46 km} * (10)  light years ;

=   \frac{5.9 km}{9.46 km} * (10)  light years ;

=   \frac{5.9 km * 10}{9.46 km}   light years ;

=   \frac{59 km}{9.46 km}  light years ;

<u>Note</u>:  We can "cancel out" BOTH of the units of  "km" ; 

        →  {since:  "km/km = 1 "} ;  and rewrite:
_______________________________________________________ 

=   \frac{59}{9.46}  light years ;

=   " { 59 ÷ 9.46 } "  light years ; 

=     6.2367864693446089 light years.
_________________________________________________________
Round to "6.2 light years" ; since there are no answer choices provided.

Answer: 9 inches.
Do the pythagorean theorem to find your answer.
Formula: a^2 + b^2 = c2
12 = b
15 = c
a^2 + 12^2 = 15^2
Simplify the equation
a^2 + 144 = 225
Subtract 144 on both sides.
a^2 = 81
Square root of 81 is 9.
