City A lies on the north bank of a river that is 1 mile wide. You need to run a phone cable from City A to City B, which lies on the opposite bank a = 5 miles down the river. You will lay Lmiles of the cable along the north shore of the river, and from the end of that stretch of cable you will lay W miles of cable running under water directly toward City B. 

 

 Find the amount of cable W that runs under water and the total cost C of the project if you choose L to be 1 mile long. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) 

 

w= ____ mi
