The length of the support cable is about 29 feet.
If you sketch out the question, you will see that it will form a right triangle with the cable as the hypotenuse.

15^2 + 25^2 = c^2
850 = c^2
29.15 = c
Answer: 4%-16000 and 9.5%-30000
Why:
1) x+y=46000
x=46000-y
2) 4%x+9,5%y=3490;
4x + 9.5y=349000; so 4*(46000-y)+9.5y=349000;
5.5y=165000
y=30000
x=46000-30000=16000
