The pencil was vertical to the ladder.
Its pythagoras: 102 - 52 = vertical height2. So 100-25 = vertical height2. Then the square root of 75 must = vertical height. Which makes the top of the ladder 8.66 feet (8ft 8 inches) from the ground.
A ladder can be considered an inclined plane because it forms a sloping surface that allows for easier vertical movement. By leaning the ladder against a wall or structure, it creates an angle which reduces the effort required to climb compared to climbing straight up. Just like an inclined plane, a ladder allows someone to use less force to overcome the vertical height.

Is this a vertical ladder? Another contributor's answer:Providing that the slide is on level ground and that the ladder is vertical then you have the outline of a right angle triangle with an hypotenuse (the slide) of 3 metres and an adjacent angle of 40 degrees. To find the height of the opposite (the ladder) side of the triangle use the trigonometrical sine ratio: sine = opposite/hypotenuse When the ratio is rearranged: opposite = hypotenuse*sine opposite = 3*sine 40 degrees = 1.928362829 metres So the height of the ladder needs to be nearly 2 metres high.
A scaling ladder was used for climbing and accessing fortifications, walls, or other high structures during military operations or sieges. It consisted of a long ladder with rungs or steps, often made of wood or metal, to assist soldiers in scaling vertical obstacles.

Ladder: On shipboard, all stairs are called "ladders," except for literal staircases aboard passenger liners. Most "stairs" on a ship are narrow and nearly vertical, hence the name. From the Anglo-Saxon hiaeder, meaning ladder.
Imagine DNA as a ladder. The sugar and phosphate pattern are the vertical parts. Nucleobases are paired together and form the steps. A sugar, phosphate group and nucleobase form a nucleotide and each vertical column of the ladder runs in an opposite direction. One other feature is that a Purine must be paired with a Pyrimidine which is why A is always with T and C is always with G.

The ladder forms the hypotenuse (r) and the wall forms the vertical (y) of a right triangle. sin theta = y / r the angle at the bottom is (90 - 32) = 58 sin 58 = 20 / r r = 20 / sin 58 = 23.583568067241928552025478405751 feet ladder must be about (rounding) 23.6 feet long.
