Answer

$1250 \ ft$

Work Step by Step

Create a proportion using ratios as follows: $$ \frac{750\ ft}{1.89\ \Omega }=\frac{x\ ft}{3.15\ \Omega} .$$ Set the product of the means equal to the product of the extremes and solve for $x$ $$ 1.89 x=750\cdot 3.15\Longrightarrow x=\frac{750\cdot 3.15}{1.89}=1250 \ ft .$$
