Start with a diagram.

This is another circle problem. The boat will be able to drift anywhere within a circle whose centre is (7.5 m) directly above the anchor and you need to find the area of that circle.

To do that you first need to find its radius. Your diagram should show a right-angled triangle whose hypotenuse is 10 m long and the (vertical) leg is 7.5 m long; the other leg will then be the radius of the circle.

Please now come back and show us your working and answer, thank you.
Hope that helps.
