A^2 + b^2 = c^2
8^2 + b^2 = 11^2
64 + b^2 = 121
b^2 = 121 - 64
b^2 = 57
b = sqrt 57
b = 7.54 rounds to 7.5 ft <==

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{-7}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{6})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{y})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ 10=\sqrt{[1-(-7)]^2+[y-6]^2}\implies 10^2=[1-(-7)]^2+[y-6]^2 \\\\\\ 100=(1+7)^2+(y-6)(y-6)\implies 100=8^2+\stackrel{F~O~I~L}{(y^2-12y+36)} \\\\\\ 100=64+36+y^2-12y\implies 100=100+y^2-12y \\\\\\ 0=y^2-12y\implies 0=y(y-12)\implies y= \begin{cases} 0\\ 12 \end{cases}$
