10 feet, and it is at a very dangerous angle.
A. 11 feet B. 13 C. 12 D. 14.
No. since the ladder must be on an angle it must have room so that the length of the ladder is equal to the 282 + (distance between bottom of ladder and house)2.

Assuming it is a two section ladder then it must therefore have a minimum length of 28 feet.
It is not a proportion. There needs to be aroubd a 75 degree angle from the ground to the base. If it is too flat the ladder can slip out from underneath you. If it is too steep you can tip back. There is usually an angle at the bottom of the ladder if that is flat on the ground then that should be the safest angle (75 degrees)
It depends if you want the ladder to overhang or to be set under but I would say 2 feet or 2/3 of a meter
Jacob's ladders do not have spreaders to avoid it from twisting when resting against the ship's hull
This answer uses trigonometry to avoid a lot of work:tangent = opposite/adjacent and tangent*adjacent (base of ladder from the building) = opposite (height of ladder above ground)So: tangent 60 degrees*3 = 5.196152423Therefore: Top of the ladder above ground = 5.2 meters correct to one decimal place.More laborious methodThe right triangle formed by the wall, ground and ladder has sides in the ratio of 1::2::sq-rt-of-3. The shortest side is the one opposite the 30 degree angle, i.e., the given distance from wall to base of the ladder--3 m.The length of the ladder represents the hypotenuse of the triangle, and is twice as long, hence 6 m.And the height of the ladder's top from the ground is proportional to the third side whose length is sq-rt-3 times that of the shortest side. Sq-rt-3 is about 1.732, so height of the ladder's top at the wall is about 5.20 m, or 520 cm.
That probably refers to the ratio between the length of the ladder, and the distance at which you place the bottom part of the ladder from the wall. If this distance is too short, you have the risk of the ladder falling backwards.
Lean a ladder against a wall. Not too steep . . . Give it a nice angle, for safe climbing. The height is the distance between the ground and the place where it hits the wall. The slant height is the length of the ladder.
